In 1982, Black played with the Thompson Twins on their ‘Quick Step and Side Kick’ tour.
After releasing a few low rated songs, Black released “Wonderful Life” in 1985 which reached number eight in the UK Singles Chart. “Wonderful Life” was later covered by singers including Kim Wilde and Tony Hadley.
Despite being primarily known for his chart successes in the ’80s, Vearncombe continued to produce music that resonated with dedicated fans, demonstrating his evolving artistry well into the 21st century. Black continued to record and release music until his death in a car accident in 2016.
Today, Vearncombe’s music continues to inspire, reminding listeners of the fleeting yet beautiful nature of life—a sentiment aptly captured in his enduring hit, “Wonderful Life.”
