Sad to Learn About the Passing of the Soft Cell Instrumentalist
I’ve been a big fan of Soft Cell since I first hear “Tainted Love” back in the day. Also, I loved “It’s a Mug’s Game” and remember how hard that was to find since it was only an import single originally. I remember finally finding a copy at a Tower Records somewhere in the San Fernando Valley.
Needless to say, I was very sad to hear that Soft Cell co-founder Dave Ball passed away this week. My prayers go out to his family during this tough time.
Grateful to Have Seen Soft Cell Live Earlier This Year
We saw Soft Cell including Dave open up for Simple Minds earlier this year and thought they were great. It was definitely a bucket-list moment since I had never seen them live before. They performed an excellent nine song set and I would have loved to seen more. They have a great catalog of songs.
