Karl Wallinger has died. He was in The Waterboys in the 1980s, who I didn't know much about, and then he formed World Party, which I had a couple albums from and I knew some of their other songs too. World Party was the name of the band but as I understand it it was basically Karl Wallinger doing everything and then when they'd tour he'd get a band because obviously he couldn't do everything himself when playing it live.
Here is a song from World Party's first album, Private Revolution. This got some play on MTV back in the day and it's a really good tune.
The album after that was Goodbye Jumbo and I had that one and I liked it a lot. Here are a few songs from that one. RIP Karl.
