I recently bought the 30th Anniversary edition, 7 versions of the same song! All good!

This is my fave version (The American Edit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3LwADmIEDw

Yeah, in the late 90's, sad.

I recall reading about his death years ago, but did not know it was in the Dominican Republic. I liked "Rock Me Amadeus" as a teen, but unfamiliar with other songs. Until I heard it recently, I did not realize the tune consisted of rap elements. His daughter released a book, Falco Was My Father. She works in the tech field. I was also unaware of his substance issues, until I saw a documentary.
