Errol Brown, the frontman of British soul band Hot Chocolate, has died at the age of 71.
The singer was most famous for hits in the 1970s and 1980s including You Sexy Thing, It Started With A Kiss and So You Win Again.
He had suffered from liver cancer and died at his home in the Bahamas.
His manager, Phil Dale, said Brown was "a wonderful gentleman".
He said: "There was always music around wherever he was.
"I've been with him in the middle of Australia and he has got an idea for a song and started writing."
Brown, who is survived by his wife and two daughters, was made an MBE in 2003.
You Sexy Thing reached number two in the UK charts in 1975 and two years later the band scored their first number one with So You Win Again.
RIP Errol, Hot Chocolate is still one of my favourite bands to listen to :crying:
