Day 25 - A song by an artist no longer living

There are so many gifted artists who are no longer with us; Lennon, Freddie, Bowie, George Michael, Prince, to name but a few.  But I've decided to go with a less high-profile artist who sadly left us in 1998, killed in a car crash.

He only had one hit in the UK, but it was a truly memorable one, and so here he is:
Falco, with Rock Me Amadeus

WHOA.

I had no idea he wasn't with us anymore!

I love that song, always loved the video. He had another hit here in the States, "Vienna Calling", but Amadeus was always my favourite.

That's why I chose him for this question rather than someone far more high profile. He was a week off his 41st birthday when he died.
