Born in Liverpool in 1962, Vearncombe had his first top 10 hit with the single «Sweetest Smile» in June 1987 when he was 25 years old.

His second hit song «Wonderful Life», which he had previously released but only got to number 72 in the charts, made the top 10 in the UK, Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Italy.

(…) as his recent collaborator the musician and producer Calum MacColl commented: «I think he got to the point where he really resented being Colin ‚Wonderful Life‘ Vearncombe, and he wanted people to listen to some of his other stuff and the breadth and the darkness.»
