If you are in your 40s like me I am very sure Mike Francis has been a part of your repertoire. I am a great fan of his. Y101 introduced me to him and I fell in love with his music eversince. Who could ever forget his Suddenly Back To Me or Let Me In or Lovely Day, and my personal favorite- Dusty Road?Mike Francis, born Francesco Puccioni, succumbed to a lingering illness last Friday, January 30, 2009, according to news reports. He was 47.
Thank you for the beautiful music, Mike.
