R.I.P. Terry Callier

Chicago Born singer and songwriter Terry Callier has sadly passed aged only 67.
Terry Callier was best known for his fusion of jazz, soul and folk music which gave him such a unique sound.

Terry Callier's 50-year career began when he signed to Chess Records in 1962, aged just 17. Leaving behind the doo-wop sound of his teenage years, his most famous trio of albums – 1972's 'Occasional Rain', 1973's 'What Color Is Love' and 1974's 'I Just Can't Help Myself' exemplified the hybrid of funk, soul and jazz that he created.

His funeral will take place on 3 November in his home city and a memorial is planned for London. The date is yet to be announced.

Still rocking that Old Skool flavour...Sinclair doing what he does best. Watch out for his new album coming soon...!

Mike Sinclair was born in West London, and during the mid to late eighties he was one of the many emerging soul talents the UK had. Sinclair made such an impact that he won a Black Music Award (BMA) for ‘The Club Smash Hit Best Single,’ "I Want You Back". The following year Sinclair received yet another BMA for ‘Best Vocalist,’ for his hit single "Ain't No Casanova". In 1994 Sinclair released his debut album "I Want You Back", which showed off his distinctive talent as a songwriter as well as a class vocalist......

The video above was a more recent performance of his classic hit "I Want You Back", and it just goes to show, that Sinclair still has the stage presence and talent to make good music.
