Terence Trent D’Arby was born in Manhattan, New York and joined the army after leaving college, serving in Elvis Presley’s old regiment in Germany. He was formally discharged by the army in 1983 after going absent without leave. While in Germany, he also worked with the band The Touch , releasing an album of material called Love On Time (1984). It was later re-issued in 1989 as Early Works after D’Arby’s world-wide success as a solo artist with his great album INTRODUCING THE HARDLINE ACCORDING TO TTD, that was released in 1987. The album, which produced such hits as “If You Let Me Stay” “Wishing Well” “Dance Little Sister” and “Sign Your Name” sold over a million copies in the first three days of its release, and its sales currently total over 14 million. The album also earned the artist a Grammy Award in March 1988 in the category Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male. In that same year, D’Arby earned three Soul Train Award nominations for Male Album of the Year (Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby), Male Single of the Year (Wishing Well), and Best New Artist.

D’Arby’s follow-up studio album “Neither Fish Nor Flesh: A Soundtrack of Love, Faith, Hope & Destruction” (1989), sold over 2 millions copies and he is still very modern.

It took four more years and a move to Los Angeles until his next project, “Symphony or Damn: Exploring the Tension Inside the Sweetness” (1993) was released. The record touched many of the issues that had been raised also in Neither Fish Nor Flesh, but was musically more straightforward and rocky than its predecessors. It gathered favourable reviews and gained much airplay in major music stations.

Neither Flesh Nor Fish is his best album. I hate the mainstream critics and companies for destroying him.

it's a shame that a lot of potentially great artists got swallowed up by the immense shittiness of the late 1980s e.g. him, neneh, martika

I do concur with Barryvs. Great musicality, great music. Very unique vocal. Underrated. Think being part of the 80/90's pop culture he got lost in the mix. There were some great artists that got swallowed up by bubblegum pop i.e PWL

He's got some good stuff, and sometimes I heard him do something that makes me think "why wasn't he more popular?"

He could've been a huge star. He's a super talented artist : songwriter, composer, singer, producer.
