I doubt many people would care, but Captain Jack, a.k.a. Franky Gee, died Friday at the age of 43. The only reason I'd know of him as an American is that he contributed a lot of tunes to various Dance Dance Revolution mixes over the years.
It's crazy that he scored 19 gold and platinum discs, according to the article, because he was practically unknown here in the states. Still, cheeseball dance pop or not, he had some fun songs in DDR.
