Does anyone at least remember his big dance club hit called "Boom Boom(Let's Go Back To My Room)it kind of reminded me a little of dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round" Very dancey synthpop.Very underated as well.And I never hear it anymore either in clubs or on the radio.He had one other big dance club hit called "You Blow Me Away" which was also another good song.

What did any of you think of his music,and did you like him at all?

I actually read an article with him about a year or so ago. He still performs ocassionally, mostly at gay functions. He does some acting as well. He recently appeared in the film "Circuit" (not very good by the way)
