Not much interesting information about Richard Strange other than the fact that he is an English singer best known for being the frontman of the group 'Doctors Of Madness' in the mid-70s.
We will find him solo at the beginning of the 80s, a solo career which will see him mainly produce the high-calibre Single "Damascus", a Single which will be released in 1986.
For this reason alone we had to dedicate this article to him.
To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1976...a first experience in grouped mode to see what music can give to many people. You have to start well one day as they say..
1976...a style and sound that fit well with their era, which can only benefit the group. Which will be the case...
1976...certainly the group will not remain as the most talented of its generation but what he will produce will not be unworthy, far from it...
1976...a first experience which will allow young Richard to study as they say and to prove that he has talent above all...
1976...it is clear that they have not positioned themselves in the most promising musical niche. Especially when they play it at overspeed like in this track...
1978...a popular musical field at the end of the 70s, of course, but this craze for this type of music will only last a few years...
1978...hence the group's life expectancy was limited to say the least. Besides, the adventure will not go further than this year 1978...
1980...we therefore find the singer solo from this year 1980. A second part of his career already more in line with the musical standards of the moment...
1980...paradoxically even if he fell into line as they say, this does not mean de facto recognition...
1980...because there is going to be a new career but it is not going to be as simple as expected. It must be said that the character is somewhat atypical...
1981...the blatant proof with this title. An atypical personality, just like the style, 2 factors which will not help with international recognition...
1981...a unique artist's model as the English knew how to do so well. Unfortunately, as is often the case, too much originality kills originality...
1981...this is what the artist will learn the hard way. Because he will achieve a few successes here and there but overall successes that are limited to say the least...
1983...that will not prevent him from carrying out a most correct adventure even if it will not reach the level of the best...
1984...there is always a price to pay unfortunately when you decide to follow a path different from others. A price that he is ready to assume at first sight...
1986...we find him again in the middle of the decade in grouped mode. It won't change things much but it's always more fun for several people...
1986...there is still a certain form of musical standardization in the middle of the decade, it is clear...
1986...which will undoubtedly remain his most accomplished Single. So when he wants, he can. Too bad he didn't realize it sooner...
1990...we lost sight of him for almost 4 years but here he is again regardless. It now remains to be seen how he intends to play it during this new decade...
1990...we had hope that things would really evolve in the right direction in the middle of the previous decade but he was not able to capitalize on this dynamic, which was promising to say the least...
2019...when we thought we would never see him again, here he is back once again almost 20 years later. Who would've believed that possible...?
2019...so in music nothing is ever finished as always. You just have to continue to believe in it a little...
2019...we can't talk about a winning comeback unfortunately but he came back regardless. So there might still be a sequel to all this...
2020...so last title or not ? Only him can answer the question in any case and possibly fate if it is favorable...
