Paul Young (17 June 1947 – 15 July 2000) was a British singer and songwriter. He achieved success in the bands Sad Café and Mike + the Mechanics.
Life and career[edit]
Young was born on 17 June 1947 in the Wythenshawe district[1] of Manchester, England.[2]
After releasing a number of unsuccessful solo singles between 1967 and 1975, Young came to prominence as the frontman of 1970s rock band Sad Café, with whom he achieved multiple UK Top 40 and US Billboard Hot 100 hits.[citation needed]
He formed Sad Café in 1976 and recorded with them until 1989. He enjoyed further chart success sharing lead vocal duties with Paul Carrack in Mike + The Mechanics, the pop-rock band formed in 1985 by Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford.
During his career, he provided lead vocals on several chart hits, including Sad Café's 'Every Day Hurts' and 'My Oh My', and Mike + The Mechanics' 'All I Need Is a Miracle', 'Word of Mouth', 'Taken In' and 'Nobody's Perfect'. He was brought into Mike + the Mechanics on the recommendation of producer/songwriter Christopher Neil and Neil's manager.[3] Young's power and range lent themselves to the band's heavier songs.[citation needed]
Young also sang the theme to the British children's TV series Avenger Penguins.
Vocal style[edit]
Young possessed a wide vocal range, often utilising fifth octavehead voice notes, and a voice characterised as 'rich'.[4] His early style has been likened to that of Mick Jagger;[5] in the early 1980s, he began to explore a more 'emotive' style.[6]
Death[edit]
On 15 July 2000, having no symptoms, Paul Young had a sudden heart attack at around 6.30pm at his home in Hale, Altrincham, and died shortly afterwards at 53 years old. An autopsy revealed 'he had died from a heart attack and that it was not the first.'[7] His body was cremated a week later on 22 July 2000.
In 2011, a new album, Chronicles, was released, compiled from unfinished material recovered from his home studio, and containing a new single, 'Your Shoes', written by Paul Young and Mike Rutherford. A plaque can be found outside his home on Hale Road, Cheshire.[citation needed]

Paying tribute, Rutherford said of Young, 'He had a fantastic voice, one of the best rock voices of his generation ... a complete natural.'[8]
Former Marillion vocalist and 1980s chart peer Fish described him as 'one of the finest frontmen and singers from the history of the British music scene', who exhibited 'immense personality, glowing charisma and outrageous positivism'.[7]

Sad Cafe's fourth album is filled with blues-rock songs with a touch of soft rock -- or vice versa, depending on the song. Standouts like 'Black Rose' and 'Babylon' showcase the band's love for Styx and the Stones, respectively, and the occasional ballad ('Feel Like Dying') doesn't cause the album to lose its spirited momentum. Vocalist Paul Young tries very hard to be Mick Jagger on some tracks, but he's so dead-on that he deserves some credit. Overall, this is Sad Cafe's best.
