In 1999, he was the first U.K. performer ever voted "Best Male Artist" by the readers of Britain's Blues & Soul magazine. His debut album, Medicine For My Pain, plus the singles Do I Qualify and Sexy Cinderella, had an instant appeal to soul fans in the U.K. and elsewhere, but it was not until his work got the remix treatment that he got his major breakthrough.
Hall appeared in the hit film Love Actually in 2003, where he sang at the wedding of the characters played by Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Two years later, he released his third studio album In Between Jobs on the independent label Random Records.
In October 2003, Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, he died on 14 February 2006, aged 31 from complications resulting from the stem cell transplant he received in Januari 2005. Lynden was in remission at the time of his death. Lynden is survived by his Mother,Father,a younger brother, two sisters and his Wife.
Shortly before his death in November 2005 whilst in hospital, Lynden achieved his wish to help others suffering, by putting on the hugely successful LYNDEN'S WISH concert at Londons Jazz Cafe. For the first time ever the cream of black British music artists came together in Lyndens honour to raise money for two charities close to Lyndens heart, The African Caribbean Lukemia Trust and Rays Of sunshine, a children's charity. Lyndens Wish, a registered charity, remains his legacy.

We always are together
Walking the same road, You and me like destiny
But then the path had parted,
You went down one road, and I went the other way
Loneliness, the feeling in my heart
Looking at the sky that's almost just about to cry
I have to say, but I can't help but think of you
ohh ohh
I'm here beneath the night, and you're not there,
No I won't cry, won't cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful, when I think about you ohh ohh
Maybe, you're seeing the same big sky
A crescent moon, gaze into the night
'Cause it might be bringing us together
You know I love you more than ever
ohh ohh
yeaa yeaa hey yeaa
The days are getting colder (colder)
Keeping my hands warm by myself
Reality, I miss your arms so badly
Want you here with me, want you here with me
Even though you call me
And tell me how much you love me, I get blue (I get blue)
You know I wanna hear it,
But I really don't like to lean on you
So I'll wipe the tears away
I'm here beneath the night, and you're not there
No I won't cry, won't cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful, when I think about you... ohh oh
I wonder when I would see you again
Until that time again, I guess I'll have to live
Feeling the power you gave me, When you hold me close
And said I'll always love you, you know ohhhh
Here beneath the night, and you're not there.
No I won't cry, can't cry anymore.
Trying hard to live a life without you
Too peaceful, when I think about you. ohh ohh
Maybe, you're seeing the same big sky
A crescent moon, gaze into the night
I believe in bringing us together (bringing us together)
You know I love you more than ever (I love you more than ever)
Holding up my hands, can you feel the pain?
I'm reaching out to you, Crescent moon
(Crescent moon) hmmmm
Lynden David Hall's "Crescent Moon" is a song that deals with a broken relationship and the feelings of loneliness and missing someone. The song opens with the singer expressing the idea of always being together, walking the same path of life with his partner. But, as time went on, their paths separated, and now he's left feeling lonely following their separation. The crescent moon in the night sky is a recurring symbol throughout the song, representing the hope of being reunited with his lover again. The singer also feels torn between wanting to hear his lover tell him how much they love him and not wanting to depend on them.
