Hi Steve, I am Howards daughter. He sadly left us 13 years ago and other are not currently any of his other songs on youtube, but I am hoping to change that this year. It's so great to know that his music is still enjoyed years later.
Just to see this again, brings a tear to my eyes. Howard was such a brilliant talent. RIP Howard, hope the tea is good in Heaven, must be since you are there to make sure! xx Featuring this song on my webradioshow this week for you and your family. Can it be 9 years since your passing yesterday? How can it be! Betcha Aretha and Bowie and Prince better look out with you there! lol xxx Centurion! Say Hi to Art for me, eh? xxx
I remember first hearing Howard when I was only 16 and getting into the guitar. So sad to hear he has passed. The man was a real gem to listen to. Very talented.
Worked with howard when he signed to parlophone i sitll have a three track cassette of straight to you , learning to fly and wild river, just three amazing songs they still make me sing out loud in the car i was shocked to hear the tragic news he was a really good guy and a talent that was only really just starting to develop fully ,
Shocking that this only got to number 15 and the next single didn't even get released properly and the album failed. I got tickets to his concert and it got cancelled. I was really upset.
I only knew Howard briefly and sat talking at lunchtime with him at work about motorbikes just a few weeks ago. One of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet, with charisma to match.
God bless you Howard you had an amazing voice and amazing singer. Love To Infinity where lucky enough to write and produce tracks with you while you where on EMI. Rest in Peace Andy Lee LOVE TO INFINITY
onsnick - thank you for the detail. I'm gutted. I'll tell my wife now who was also a big fan. Battlefield who I believe was written by Nick Lowe was a superb song, superby sung by Howard. It will forever live as a cherished part of my collection.. RIP Howard and many many sympathies and thoughts to his family. Thank you once again.
Why the hell didn't this chart in the UK? Because perhaps at the time, most of the music available was shite and Howard New wasn't appreciated. Still a brilliant song and still a brilliant singer. Where is he now? I believe this track was written originally by Nick Lowe. Anyone confirm this?
I agree he is a very talented singer! I didn't appreciate his music 8 odd years ago but listening to his album now he's a talented singer and song writer.
These musicians are great and Mikey has many strings to his bow. Xxx
Lovely song and a great family man. Love to you and your family. Xxx

Loved this song then and still love it now!

Sadly killed in a car crash, 2009.
Great song. Sounds a bit like American Country Music Sound.
Go H! My uncle.
I agree he is a very talented singer! I didn't appreciate his music 8 odd years ago but listening to his album now he's a talented singer and song writer.
