"Family and and friends of 70s pop star Leroy Smith will gather in Manchester for his funeral.

The 56-year-old, who had a number one hit with Sad Sweet Dreamer with the group Sweet Sensation, was found dead at his flat in Moss Side last month.

Regarded as Britain's answer to the Jackson Five, the group found fame after appearing on ITV's talent show New Faces.

The service will be held at noon at Our Lady's Church in Moss Side."

Seems he owned and ran a take away food shop ---- just goes to prove how unhealthy take away food can be!

Looks like he never made it to the heights of other Jamaican stars like Eddy Grant.
