UK soul singer Lynden David Hall, passed away yesterday (February 14th 2006) and his death has struck me on so many levels.
Firstly the cause of his death has brought to the fore an issue that Guess has discussed (more than once I think?)Black and Minority Ethnic Group donors. Prior to his death, Lynden David Hall battled for two years with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer. Like many other forms of cancer, the survival rate relies on (amongst other things) bone marrow transplants. As Guess pointed out in her post, there is a shortage of black and minority ethnic group donors in the UK. Lynden David Hall was aware of this and launched Lynden’s Wish, a fundraising event held at the Jazz Cafe last November. Losing Lynden further highlights how important it is for us as black people to register as donors.
Secondly I am saddened at the low level of publicity surrounding his passing. The BBC and Radio 1 Xtra (they have a wonderful tribute section) both have the story on their sites but that appears to be it. Tonight, the music world gathered in London for what is the biggest musical award show in the UK The Brits. One would expect that on a night like this, focus would not just be limited to the winners but also to those artists who have influenced today’s winners. After all Lynden was a 1999 Brit Nominee and as Lemar thanked tonight’s audience for his Best Urban Act Brit award one can not help see the similarity in style between the two singers. And who can forget Lyndens cameo as a wedding singer in Love Actually? Surely his soulful rendition of the Beatle song All you need is love? is reason enough for the UK media to realise the gap in UK music that now exists. Lynden was a talented individual who wrote all his songs played a host of instruments and had a voice that many likened to DAngelo and I feel that there should be more in the news.
Thirdly, and this is perhaps the most painful part of all this, a family is mourning the loss of a son and a brother. I went to school with Lynden’s younger brother and have been friends with him ever since. I can only imagine what he and his family are going through at this time and I pray that God will guide them through this.
This blog article is my little tribute to a great man who shall be missed by music lovers all around the world. A man who at 31 years old has gone too soon but shall be remembered for achieving a great deal in such a short time.

I thought I was the only one to recently find out about Lynden’s passing. On Sunday, I was shocked when I woke up to a radio presenter announcing the sale of tickets for Lynden’s memorial! I didn’t even know he had been ill. I am from Africa, and when I was still at home, I knew “sexy cinderella” and “crescent moon” and at first I thought it was D’angelo singing. When I came to the UK, his was one of the 1st 2 CDs I bought. I got a chance to see him perform in Streatham and even got to have a little chat with him! I was awestruck at how talented, and yet so down to earth he was. He is one of THE most underrated artists I know and I wish it didn’t take death for people to appreciate how talented someone was. May he rest in peace.

I heard about Lynden’s death the after his passing and I was shocked and deeply saddened. His talent always blows me away. From being songwriter, producer, to doing all the vocals and playing all the instruments on every single track. I can’t think of anyone else who matches these credentials.
I went to his memorial at the Kensington Roof Gardens and had a fantastic time. I was very moved when 2 doves were released in his memory by this widow, and when the London Community Gospel Choir sung “All you need is love� and “You’ve got a friend�. The evening was a celebration of having such at talented young man and his music in our lives, and what we can do to help others who are suffering from leukaemia. You can find out how to become a potential bone marrow donor on the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust’s website: http://www.aclt.org they are having a testing day on 25th May 2006. They just need a blood sample to test for the 1 in 200,000 chance that you match someone who needs some of you marrow.
Dear Lynden,
I feel privileged to have your beautiful music. Your songs touch a core in me, in particular “Medicine 4 My Pain� and “There Goes My Sanity�. The poetry of the lyrics is incredible. May you rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to your family and friends through this awful time.
Gye Nyame,
With love,
Lydia

Do Angels Cry offers some of the most perspicacious lyrics the world has come across. Lynden David Hall was one of the most talented musicians to ever come out of this universe in our generation. I shed some tears on the day I heard he’d passed…Who knew a guy somewhere in England would touch the heart of a teen in a rural part of Malawi in southern Africa? As much as I would want to grieve his death, I feel like celebrating his talent and the positive impact in lives of people he never even knew….Rest well, Lynden, rest well. I hope our God remembers my name too when I get there.

It’s almost six months since we lost the great artiste called Lynden David Hall and sa I listen to his music today, I realise how much of a loss his demise truly is. Years ago LDH performed in Abuja Nigeria, I had an opportunity to watch him but didn’t, believeing there would be time to watch him in the UK. I count missing that performance as on of my most painful losses. But I have his music and anyway it’s about time the angels in heaven listened to some good soulful music. RIP Brother Man

I just wanted to say i know it has been a while since his passing but i have recently been listening to his music again and it just saddens me even more. Lynden brought us so much hope and love through his music and i know that he will live on through it; the song that is close to my heart for may reasons is “Do angels Cry”, i love this song and it was sung with so much love, i have been trying to find the lyrics to it but with no joy.
Rest in peace little voice xxxx

Clare says
I feel like I am the last person to find out that such an amazing artist has passed away. I – like many others – was not even aware of his illness….However I completely respect that this may have been Lynden’s or his family’s wishes as difficult times are not everyones business. On the contrary though, I cannot believe that there has been such minimal recognition of his passing and I agree with pretty much everyone about the Brits and how there was no mention of the great LDH. I haved loved all of his music since I first heard of him in 1996…whilst in Zimbabwe, and his album ‘Medicine 4 my pain’ has been replaced a couple of times due to over playing!
My condolences – although a little late, go out to his family and friends. May Lynden rest in Peace.
Thanks for making such inspirational music.

No Clare, you are NOT the last person to find out. I AM!!
I can’t believe it.
I just found out by accident today! I didn’t even know he was sick!
I was always turning my friends and family onto his music and all this time I was wondering when he was going to come out with a new album. My God! Shame on the media for not talking about his death, but I’m in America and they can barely get up enough energy to report when Black legends die, so you KNOW a Brit wasn’t going to get any press.
My (late) condolences to the family.

I’m shocked! I was speaking to a friend of mine just last night and he passed the news on to me. I’m gutted!
I was out of the country in february and seem to have missed all this horrible news.
I was lucky enough to see Lynden on 2 occasions, he reached me in ways no other singer ever has. He helped me understand the love I was feeling at the time for a lady I just simply couldn’t have!
Medicine for my pain is one of the msot beautiful songs ever written, I’ve been reading all these lovely words and can’t stop crying, God this hurts and I can’t believe I missed all this news!
I was only talking to my friend Leroy about how much I’d love to see him again last night!
I just want to lsend my love to everyone who felt Lyndens soul, my condolences and love to all.
Lynden was a unique talent, someone who influenced my heart and helped me understand my own feelings at a very tough time in life. God bless you Lynden and thank you for the lovely memories.

Best friends,
You are not the last ones to find out Lynden’s death. I live in Belgium, a country where it’s very difficult to access soul music. I discovered Lynden’s music about ten years ago. He was my favourite singer. I consider “Medicine 4 my pain” as the most beautiful song ever done.
I don’t know that Lynden was ill. I dreamed to see him once at live in my life. Unfortunately, I know now it will stay a dream.
I’m sad, but I’m also angry. I can’t undertsand why medias didn’t tell Lynden’s death. However, he was a great singer. But his faillure was not to be so commercial.
“Lynden, U left us, but your wonderful music ‘ll live next to us forever.” Thanks

I only heard of Lynden’s death on Sunday from the radio and the first thing I did today, 1st chance I got was go into the net. I am shocked that the media was so quiet about this and might heart goes out to the wife who probably just started out her life with this man. So sad to lose such talent and a blessing to the world. I am tempted to say he is gone too soon, however I believe that he had fulfilled the purpose that he was brought into this earth for, the messages on this site are evidence to that. To the family, God still sits on the throne, He sees your pain and is holding you through it.

I am truley devastated at finding out such a talented and soulful person passed away earlier this year. Indeed as the point at the top of this page states, this tragic news was not publicised enough for such a promising talent. Lyden’s music will always be special to me as I first introduced his music to my girlfriend back in 2001 and his music remains a special connection between us and always will.
I thought after seeing him in Love Actually had he had merely taken a break and was on his way back. I had no idea he was so ill. My thoughts and condolinses go to his friends and family and I’m sure they will be comforted by the knowledge his memory and talent will live through those who continue to enjoy and be touched by his music.
God Bless , RIP Lynden

I am late, but wanted to add my two cents. I was also saddened to hear of LDH’s passing also here in the USA. I actually looked in my collection and realized that I had a copy of “Sexy Cinderella” on a compilation, but it was a copy of “Sleeping with Victor” that really tuned me in. I purchased the import single without ever hearing it, yet I loved the song and the voice behind it. I then went on a serch for the whole album. As I was looking for information on LDH’s whereabouts, I learned of his passing. Let it be known that someone here in the United States was touched and influenced by this fantastic artist, and that he will be missed!

The singer is no more, but his songs will remain forever! How tragic, and how untimely a death! Incredible talent, cut short in the prime of his life! Listening to Radio Metro this morning, in South Africa, I was literally overcome with emotion when the presenter spoke in the past tense about LDH. I bought most of his albums as the tracks are so relaxing, meaningful and above all, soulful. Rest in peace, brother. May light perpetual shine upon your memory.

I would just like to say all the comments and thoughtful words of wisdom to LDH family is so touching and beautiful.
Lynden was a very unique male soul singer. Man he had a gift. And when I heard he had sadly passed away I was sad and also angry that, we as black people don’t do enough for our comunity in the time of need so maybe this is a lesson to be learned start registering to donate and give blood.
Lynden rest in peace, maybe gone but not forgotten x

I am shocked!! Speechless. I have just found out about LDH’s death. I am also very angry at the fact that not much was said about his illness or his death. Had it not been for the e-mail about our young departed stars I would still be in the dark. I have never heard of such a desease and that one can become a bone marrow donor. I will do all the research necessary and become a donor my self.
I pray that God keeps his family safe and fill them with love and happyness.
Rest in peace Lynden!!! I will never forget you.

I’ve heard about his death(September) on metro fm,when the radio presenter was playing his song.After playing his song,he said,’that was the late LDH….’.I couldnt believe my ears,i wanted to rewind the radio(impossible).Up until I took further step – [by searching online],that’s when i came into terms with it.
“I loved LDH so much,the way i felt about his death – it was like i knew him personally.I will always listen to your songs Linden”

I received this link through the LDH fanclub site. I’m Lynden’s Big Sis and would like to just say thank you for all the kind words that are on here. Amazing that the news is filtering through like a leaky tap.
He really enjoyed playing in Africa. Most deeply and sincerely and came back from visits saying “It was heavy!” when asked “How was it?”. Always with a big smile on his face.
So I’d like to say thank you and that he loved playing there.
Peace, love, hugs

like so many others i only just found out that he is no longer with us. i think it is a disgrace on everyone’s part in the music industry that this was not made public knowlegde earlier. i take a great interest in the music industry/world and have not been made aware of his sad death. he will be very sadly missed in my life!!

I cannot believe, my boyfriend told me this sometime last week and I disagreed-I actually said I’d have known if it were true…I am shocked.
I was actually fantasizing about a huge concert right here in South Africa with him, D’Angelo and a few South African artists(MXO etc). I also just heard that he released a third album-you can only find the first two here…this is shocking.
May his soul rest in peace

This is a shock, I cannot believe it. His music is fantastic, I was just searching the net to see if he was touring soon. Saw him at the Jazz Cafe a few years back he was amazing… May his soul rest in peace.

“I wish I Knew” that u will leave us so early! I dont belive that it is almost a year but i only found out yesterday though the “magazines and talk shows claimed they known him better” anyway it wont change a thing cause he still “the medisine for my pains” but i do believe “angels do cry” MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
Lynden’s music is dammn good and I will always play his music. Medisine for my pain is my best cd ever cause it remind me of someone I loved for years he is now with someone else. “I can only try not to leave a lie”

I left a message back last year and visit this page from time to time, it’s great to see that fans are still leaving heartfelt messages.
I wanted to tell everyone about Lynden David Hall’s Live Myspace page, please visit this page and add him to your friends list (if your on myspace, if not join up).. His beautiful, Brave wife Nikkie has set this up and she is also going to release a Live Album of Lynden in the near future (for me this is really exciting cos like all of you I am a true LDH Fan).
Please help keep Lynden’s music alive because he was the most under rated neo soul uk singer ever!!!!!! Pure talent…..
Big love and thank you Kathryn x

Almost a year to the day that one of Britain’s greatest Talent’s passed away, I always thought of him as the new Luther, I hope that he’ll be remembered with more reverance this year.
