RIP Gerald. A class act man. A class act band. The music he created within Brighton Rock still gives me goosebumps and he had one of the most recognizable voices on the planet. I feel very fortunate to have seen them play live for the first time in 2017. Gerald addressed the crowd immediately after belting out a flawless version of One More Try; "I bet you all were saying, I wonder if he can still hit those high notes?" Yup. Amazing!

Yes RIP. Getting older blows.

 

I'll never forget the first time I heard "Jack Is Back" and then I had to hear it all...

Just hearing about this now... This one really sucks for me as I love Brighton Rock.  Young, Wild & Free is such an awesome album, and the two after were very good as well.  

It's all starting to hit home for me as all the members of my favorite 80's rock bands are well into their 50's now.  Seems like just yesterday it was 1986 and I was 18 years-old.  My have we've all grown old.
