Is he the singer that sang "The whole of the moon"?
He was in the band for a time not the lead singer.
No, that was Mike Scott
The band he went on to form...World Party were the original singers of She's The One, a song that Robbie Williams released and is still one of his best in my opinion.
I didn't know that was a cover! And just read on wiki that Robbie Williams has never admitted it's a World Party song and often introduces it as 'the best song he's ever written' the liar.
It's in the Popbitch mail out tonight, did you read it there?
No I read it on Wikipedia. Maybe someone just wrote it on there after reading Popbitch

I thought Guy Chambers the song writer, wrote Angels for Robbie Williams?
I've just googled it, Angels was based on a song by Ray Heffernan. You learn something new every day.

Yes that’s him x
I think it's him singing here too? Completely forgot about this song until radio 2 played it during the week...
He's been trying to get Robbie to acknowledge it for years. Seemingly the record company pressured him to take the money offered and he did. He claims he has proof of it and there are pics of Robbie in his house and paperwork. He says he doesn't care if he doesn't earn a penny, he wants his name on there as a writer. Of course, that would get him a lot of cash and if he genuinely did write it...and it seems he did...he deserves every penny he would get.
Steve Harley of "Cockney rebel" who sang "Come up and see me (make me smile)" has passed aged 73 from cancer ;(
Such a catchy song. RIP Steve.
Still makes me think of The Full Monty. RIP Steve. A great tune.
Very sad to hear of Steve Harley’s passing. RIP
