Eddy Amoo, one of 1970s soul band The Real Thing - who had hits including You To Me Are Everything and Feel the Force - has died at the age of 74. Amoo was a vocalist and songwriter with the pioneering Liverpool quartet.
Friend Simon Sheridan said he had died suddenly in Australia and paid tribute to him as an "inspirational character". Sheridan told the BBC The Real Thing were "huge pioneers of black music in the UK" and the first all-black British band to have a UK number one single. That was You To Me Are Everything, which topped the charts in 1976. The song returned to the charts in 1986, when it reached number five.
Amoo started his career leading Merseybeat a capella group The Chants in the 1960s. John Lennon was said to have championed them, and they were represented by The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein for a short time. 'We auditioned for The Beatles and they loved us' - Eddy Amoo on BBC Radio 2. After their demise, Amoo joined his younger brother Chris in The Real Thing.
Their other hits included Can't Get By Without You, while French house duo The Freeloaders took them back into the charts in 2005 by sampling their song Love's Such a Wonderful Thing.
Another of their tunes, Children of the Ghetto, was covered by artists including Philip Bailey and Mary J Blige.
Shot at a party a few years ago. Was the best party I have ever been to filled with the nicest / coolest bunch of people. These two were a card.

"once upon a time, or should
I say, this very minute, right
now, there lives a tiny fairy
within the hollow crevices in
between time, the sky is lit
in pure gold and lavender, and
tiny pink clouds are dancing by
as if the sun had just set down,
but you see, it is still shinning
bright and there is a double
rainbow streaming from the
ground, dragonflies zoom by
around, bees are buzzing happily,
and over there, that's you, sitting
on a mushroom, drinking tea,
collected from the morning dew
streaming from the leaves, as a tiny
fairy braids a ponytail and the
bees place flowers in your braids
only this is not a fairytale, it is
the true story of a world that
exists side by side to yours
and if you believe in it, you'll
be granted entry into this
magnificent place filled with
pure magic and true delight" sth
