Rufus Lumley

Posted

Does anybody know if Rufus Lumley is still around ? The man had a great voice & I always thought his lp on RCA was pretty good from a pop perspective, never mind the wonderful "Stronger than me". Cheers. Pete.

No he died a few years back from cancer, I got an email off his widow asking me if I could get her his record on Skyscraper (I think) anyway I definitely corresponded with her, all a bit vague now.

Thanks Mr Smith, one of those little things I've often wondered about. I'd like to think his widow was pleased that he had some fans across the water. Cheers. Pete

Hi Martin have only heard it out once and wasnt really concentrating at the time would like to hear it again

Yeah, a second or third hearing is always essential to form an opinion.

I still can't believe they didn't see fit to issue "Stronger than me" as a single. I prefer that to I'm Standing I think.

come on Adam post it up i know you just bought one :P

Haven't got it in my possesion yet Ted, it's entering the postal system tomorrow....so won't have it until Thursday. Thought I had it on CD but can't find the CD!

Martin, I know it's all about opinions but it's a stunning record....far, far better than 'average' which is of course just my opinion :rolleyes: .

Perhaps i might have a rethink if i have it to hand, rather than just hearing it out? But so far after a no of listens, it just hasn't done it for me. So judegement reserved, until otherwise.

Dave,just how would you happen to know something like that!Anyway l'm convinced! :lol:

I used to work for a company called Steelcase Inc, we owned the French manufacture of the chair.

A different time, a different life.
