I'd Rather Go Blind, available on Greatest Hits: Andrew Strong

One of my favorite rock movies of all time is The Commitments. Lead singer Deco Cuff (Andrew Strong) was a mere 16 years old, despite that soulful, whiskey-and-two-pack-a-day voice. Now 19 years later, Andrew Strong is still performing soul and R&B music, mostly in Europe.

Can't imagine why this guy hasn't had more success in the US. With the resurgence of British soul, I think he's due for some recognition.
