Tributes have been paid to Attrell Cordes, better known as Prince Be from ’90s R&B duo P.M. Dawn, who died on Friday at the age of 46 from kidney disease.
They recorded their debut record, the positively-reviewed Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience in London.
It spawned the massive global hit, Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, which used a sample of Spandau Ballet’s True.
Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet said on Twitter “Oh man, Prince Be has gone. I will be forever grateful to him for taking one of my songs and making it bigger and better forever”.
