The guy from Disco Montego died about a week ago from chest cancer. He didn't even smoke.

ah, yes, I did hear about this on Channel [v] (whatUwant) ... Not good. :|

Only about 6 weeks after they found out about it, at the age of 27.

news article. RIP mate.

I just loved their song with katie underwood song - Beautiful.

Come back to me

Gotta tell you you've been on my mind
'Cos we used to spend so much time together
Now it seems
That was just a dream
Now you've left me behind

You know we used to be friends
I never thought it would come to an end
And now your heart's been led astray
So much I wanna say

I can't stop this crazy feeling
And you are the reason
Baby come back to me
Now won't you come back to me
Yeah, you're beautiful
Yes your love all that I desire
My heart is on fire
Oh baby come back to me
Yeah
You're beautiful, beautiful
So beautiful

...

I think you'll find 'Disco Montego' was the production team, who then found singers to lay down their vocals - much like a Paul Mac or the studio work of The Neptunes (not N*E*R*D).

it's a real shame though, he (I can't think of his name) was about to fly to the US for some high-profile work I believe.

Darren Dowlett. He was a really sweet guy, did some work with him a few times. They were heading to the US to work with Mariah, which is a fair step up no matter what you think of her.

He and his brother were also the group Kaylan prior to Disco Montego.

Damn shame that, too. RIP.

good name Disco Montego, btw. Sad to hear, heard a couple of their tracks on the radio, but we could have heard Dowlett go on to bigger and better things, as you said bass_drum, working with Mariah.
