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.

This is heartbreakingly sad. I loved his song – Sexy Cinderella – and his voice was so strong and beautiful.
Rest in peace, Lynden David Hall.
Please pass our condolences to CJ and his family and tell them we are praying for them.

Guessaurus says
Kui, Thank You for this. I heard it on the Radio this morning, and the way they said it was a ‘by the way’ and though I knew that LDH has been sick, I didnt know it till today that he had passed away, and like you I felt a big ‘hit’ and was going to write something about it today, but you have done it wonderfully.
I still maintain that we black people should focus more on issues that only ‘WE’ can do something about – and bone marrow/blood/organ (although I am not on the register of the latter, yet) should be at the forefront.
I feel sad for his family/friends and like Mshairi said pass my condolences to the family. We may not personally have known him but his passing has hit us nonetheless.
Once again Kui Thank you for this tribute.

I had the pleasure of seeing Lynden live a couple of times – last at the jazzcafe where despite his illness he put on the most amazing show. We have lost a brilliant talented brother – albeit underrated.
Rest in Peace Lynden
P.S. We also lost another talented brother late last week to lupus. J Dilla – A different genre altogether (hip hop) brilliant none the less.

Aima says
I agree with the leading article on this. It left me cold the way on a musical night such as the brits, the industry failed to recognise someone who paved the way for the Lemar’s, and Craig David’s.
I loved Lynden, his music touched me in a quiet unassuming way, but it was very powerful nonetheless. I am so proud the way he used his last days to raise awareness for a disease that even though we know about, affects the people in our communities in a much more devastating way. Lynden, your music will live on, and be the ‘medecine for our pain’ now that your gone. My thoughts and prayers are with his family right now, may God give them the comfort to bear the loss. A genius has gone from our midst, and i’m not sure we know it.

I was shocked that this had not been reported more as LDH was one of our greatest talents.

Owen says
Anthony Nolan Trust are pretty effective in raising bone marrow donor awareness. Do you know whether the idea of getting the issue raised at the Brits was suggested to them?
Anthony Nolan Trust (http://www.anthonynolan.org.uk/) started with an individual, Anthony himself, and his mum Shirley’s campaigning to make the public aware of the need for bone marrow donation. It was my admiration for Shirley’s determined campaigning that led me to register as a bone marrow donor.
African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT) recruit volunteer donors from African, African-Caribbean and mixed parentage/descent for the Anthony Nolan Trust’s Register.
It might be worth you contacting them to suggest an approach to the Brits organisers – perhaps using Anthony Nolan Trust’s organisational influence – for next year’s event.

His talent touched many (I am a 56 year old white male…) Gone but not forgotten.
My heart goes out to his family.
When I’m Dead and Gone is playing…it follows Victor on the CD…what a lovely man.
Peace, David

A truly sad piece of news. I also knew nothing of Lynden’s illness & what a shock to hear of his sad passing away. A great memory I’ll always treasure is being with my boyfriend at Notting Hill Carnival some years ago, and seeing a group of people cheering and waving. Looking up at the window of a pub, and there was Lynden David Hall smiling and waving… We spent the rest of the day really on a high at having seen one of our favourite singers, a true & humble star. My thoughts and prayers to Lynden’s family. Rest peacefully Lynden- may your beautiful, velvet tones ring through my ears and in heaven always.

I felt I had to write something in relation to the passing of this talented and beautiful person who put a smile on my face on many occasions.
I only found out about this terribly sad news yesterday and it has been on my mind ever since. I agree with previous comments regarding the total lack of awareness of this sad occasion and am disappointed that there was no mention of this at the Brit Awards.
I remember with great affection going to watch him at the Manchester Academy in 1999 with hundred’s of women swooning over this delectable man who was melting our hearts with his chocolaty tones….
I feel deep sadness for his family and would like to pass on my condolences. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

mohamed says
Man this is a great loss. I was never too much of a UK R&B fan back then and when I heard this brother, man I had to get his first album. Not only did I do that but also got all of his singles and anything he featured in. I now live in the US and I brag about him so much over here and I was only told about his death today. My sympathy goes to his Family. I cant imagine loosing a son and brother, especially someone so talented. Uk lost an icon thats all I can say and if they don’t want to really embrace that, it is shown by the music industry over there. If someone like that was to die over here in the US, there will be a hell of a tribute to him. He was special.

Like the rest of you I have been deeply moved by the death of Lynden. His music and lyrics touched me to the core. It was medicine for my “pain”. He wrote from the heart and expressed openly feelings and emotions that all too many of us deny and suppress. His talent far surpassed his musical and arrangement abilities. His pain healed others. He was truly an earth angel. Now his pain is ended and I hope he is flying free, finding out the answers to his questions, “I wonder do angels cry…”. Lynden, your life was short but you have touched more hearts than many of us could in 10 lifetimes! Healing and love to Lyndens family and friends xxx

R.I.P Lynden David Hall, I feel bad to have discovered him posthumously. Will search out record stores for his music.
True, our community world wide needs to get it straight that if we don’t change our perceptions on being donors then how do we expect to find cures for illnesses that affect us in disappropriate numbers? How then can we save ourselves if we don’t have enough, regular matching “donations”
Thanks for sharing.

The first time I heard LDh sing was at a Janet Jackson concert in Cape Town , South Africa. He sang sexy Cinderella. I was compleatly mesmorised It was like he was singing to me. He had amazing stage presence. Needless to say I went out the next day to buy his CD. He was a unique talent in this day and age.
I was shocked to hear about his death especially having gone throught treatment for HL myself it shocked me.
I am playing you CD the whole day to day , Hope you are listning.

The Hall family should feel immensly proud of the footprint left by David on the walk of life. A cruel irony being valentines day however his talent is immortalised in his catalogue. Here’s a final thought: You become a donor not because you need to, but because somebody, somewhere – their life depends on it.

To have such love for someone I didn’t know, I didn’t think was possible until the day Lynden passed away. Lynden reached me on so many levels, not just musically, but helping me through a sad time when my brother passed away in 1999, the album medicine 4 my pain meant a lot to me esp.Do Angels Cry.
I cried the day Lynden left us, purely for the fact that I would never again experience the intimate gigs he played, the whole crowd singing acopella (Sexy Cinderalla at Southport 2000!), and never hear his soulful voice singing a song I didn’t know. I have now vowed to share my knowledge of this truly unfulfilled and ‘unsung’ singer with every single person I know to keep his spirit gmoving on.
Why so soon? so sad. My heartfelt feelings go out to all that knew him personally, I can only imagine with sadness how they must feel having lost such a light in their lives.
Always in my heart Lynden, Mish

I am saddened at the loss of a talented artist and from breifly meeting him, the loss of a good person…. and I am reminded to go and give blood – coming from a mixed heritage background.
My condolences to his family.
Rest peacefully Lynden.

My love to his family and his special wife, Nikki. May the Lord keep you strong babe. You are in my prayers. Saddened by the loss of a wonderful man. Described by his wife as a blessed God fearing man. Stay strong. Love Nx

I am like most people in shock that a beautiful soul has been taken so young. I loved LDH’s music and had seen him many times in concert. He will be sadly missed.
Rest in Peace Lynden.

Do angels cry? The honesty of your voice and lyrics, even when regarding death, cannot be forgotten. We will forever treasure your musical gifts for us. You blessed us with your music.
“When I’m dead and gone, nor before too long..” Too soon…
Rest in peace
Teis, Denmark

It’s funny how you can be so affected by someone’s death without having personally known them or even met them. I have been listening to his music every day and even fall asleep to it.
It would have been great to get another album from him. What he achieved is more than some can claim. It’s a pity he was taken so soon from his family and friends.
For those who want to highlight the plight of people in the same predicament of needing bone marrow, please contact Anthony Nolan for details. I think LDH would appreciate that, aside from your never forgetting his music. *sad smile*
RIP and my prayers and thoughts with the family, always.
xx

i had no idea lynden Daved Hall had even passed away untill i herd it on the radio on the 03/03/06. Why is it when someone is caught doing things like drugs they are all you hear about, but when a amazing talent is lost like lynden you dont hear a thing. He was and still is one of my fav all time greats.
He will be truely missed.
