Gee whiz. Didn't know he was that old, but still....

This album (their third, I believe) was very good also...here's a cool song from it:

Artist: The Outfield
Album: Voices Of Babylon
Song: "Voices Of Babylon"
March 28, 1989 Columbia Records



They had an unusual experience for a British band in that they enjoyed commercial success in the US, but never in their homeland of England. For the group's third album, 1989's Voices of Babylon, a new producer (David Kahne) and sound was evident. The title track was a Top 25 single and hit #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart . The follow-up song, "My Paradise", was a mid-sized album-rock hit reaching #34 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart but overall the group's popularity continued to decline. On July 9, 2014, original guitarist John Spinks died of liver cancer. He was 60 years old. On October 20, 2020, original founding singer Tony Lewis died suddenly and unexpectedly at his home near London.
