RIP Captain Jack

Francesco Guterrez, aka 'Captain Jack', died of a stroke yesterday. The singer collapsed after a party in Mallorca.

Gutereza, born in Cuba, came to Germany as an American soldier and decided to stay there. In Frankfurt he met Liza da Costa and some producers, resulting in the '95 hit single 'Captain Jack'.

Other singles with huge succes were 'Soldier, Soldier' and 'Drill Instructor'. His album 'The Mission' sold 7 million copies.

Captain Jack was 43 years old.

His management just denied his death in a dutch radio show (on 3fm)

He's in a coma and the situation is still life threadning..

Would be a real shame.. who didn't grew up with his music (oke probably you older fella's didnt)

Yeah - he's brought me a lot of wonderful memories as well with his "Captain Jack". Damn, those were the days...

RIP

Those memories, i loved his tracks back in the days, with his naughty clips who where way too sexy for a 9/10 year old
