Lynden David Hall (7 May 1974 – 14 February 2006)[1] was an English singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer who emerged during the late 1990s as part of the neo soul movement.
[4][5] Born in Wandsworth, South London, England, he won the "best newcomer" accolade at the 1998 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards.
His debut album, Medicine 4 My Pain, as well as the singles "Do I Qualify" and "Sexy Cinderella", had an instant appeal to soul fans in the UK and elsewhere, but it was not until his work got remixed that he got his major breakthrough.
In October 2003, Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma; he died on 14 February 2006, aged 31, from complications resulting from the stem cell transplant he received in January 2005.
[3] Shortly before he died, while in hospital in November 2005, Hall and his wife achieved their wish to help others suffering by putting on the successful Lynden's Wish concert at London's Jazz Café.
