lead vocals on “Caravan of Love” (1985), a song that was covered by English recording group, the Housemartins, an
international #1 pop hit. “Caravan” was also used in commercials as part of a Dodge Caravan advertising campaign. He was
also awarded a CEBA Award For Excellence for a Miller Brewing Company commercial. The music for that commercial
formed the basis for “Brother to Brother” from the “Different Drummer” album, which supported the anti-aparthe.CALL IN #347-308-8747
