About Labi Siffre
Labi Siffre was born in Hammersmith in 1945 and made his name in the early 1970s with gentle, melodic singles such as 'It Must Be Love' and 'Crying Laughing Loving Lying'. Madness later took 'It Must Be Love' back into the charts with their 1981 cover.
After stepping away from recording, he returned in 1987 with '(Something Inside) So Strong', written after watching a documentary about apartheid South Africa. His 1975 track 'I Got The' supplied the loop for Eminem's 'My Name Is'. He has also published poetry.
