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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
We glide on a magic carpet ride
All around us stars collide
And there's poetry inside my head
It seems I can hear some haunting theme
Yet there's something in your scheme
That's too real to be a dream instead!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
The sound all around begins to pound
An' I know we're homeward bound
To a world we've often found before
We climb into space an' out of time
Then the bells begin to chime
We're in rhythm and in rhyme, once more!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop...

Yeh he was one of South London’s Finest. RIP Lynden David Hall. I remember the first time I heard his voice I thought he was American ( he had that D’Angelo vibe ) then I found out he was from down the road in Norwood I was like Wow! I Loved his voice ( bought 2 of his CDs ) he was truly blessed and will be very missed ❤️
