What a shitty world when the co-writer of two of the greatest songs ever , amongst many others, gets bumped off changing a tyre.

Sad, sad news. The genius of the extended mix of "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" cannot be overstated -- I've forgotten which ILXer brought this great record to my attention, but thank you greatly.

Probably the version by the Risco Connection that's on the first Loft compilation, but this is a heartbreaker.

Briania very otm. And this is a real shame.
