whatever happened to Jonathan Butler?

Lately,I've been listening to his greatest hits CD:


music this guy had some good songs.Remember "Lies","Sarah Sarah","Take Good Care Of Me","More Than Friends",etc? In the late 80s,he was all over R&B radio but then he just disappeared.

Who remembers this guy?

Still around performing. He lives in South Africa I think but still tours the States. He has a platinum blond hair cut now.

He's a little pudgier, and he uses blond to cover up the gray, methinks.

I caught him at a couple of performances in the DC area in 2004. The man puts on a wonderful show.

Can play like you wouldn't believe. Sing, too.

"Lies" is one my faves from that era. LOVE his geetar playing - very George Benson-influenced.
