Such a beautiful songwriter and performer. Rest in Peace Karl

Karl Wallinger is one of the truly underappreciated treasures of his, or any other, era. A fantastic songwriter, musician, and performer. I'm proud to say that I have all of his albums.

[TorToroPorco]

I saw Karl & World Party perform in the late 80s in a club and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I deeply regret not making an effort to seeing him perform again. He was such a gifted musician and song writer.

So sad, but my God what a musical legacy!
"Is It Like Today" has always evoked emotions in me that I'm not sure I understand...
"Many years ago he looked out thru a glassless window, didn't understand much of what he saw..."😢❤

Put The Message In A Box is a song that I try and pass on to every young person I meet. Its danceable, its got motions, its joyous - and its an important message. RIP Karl - Thank You

Karl is a genius. What a great discovery. World Party is the most underrated band in the world.

[alisonkimber]

We have lost a true genious and beautiful soul ! R.I.P Karl !

[GarethChillingworth-Actual]

Rest in peace Karl. You were a Legend in your own time, you'll be sorely missed. <3

Saw him just once as opening act for Steely Dan. Great concert. Beautiful voice. Tight band. RIP

[martinallman]

My secular saint. A truly spiritual guy. Heart on sleeve humanist. Kick ass tunester and wordsmith. Something to believe in.

I sure wish Karl hadn’t left us so soon. I listened to all his albums obsessively back in the 90’s. I loved his songs and voice and went back to listen to them now and then. Hope you’re happy wherever you’ve gone off to Karl.

[nadionmediagroup]

Goodbye Karl. A pop tunesmith with few peers. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

[johnmckeown]

What a loss. Great songwriter and loved him in the early Waterboys. RIP Karl

I was 19, living deep in the American suburbs. I'd walk the streets of my neighborhood night with a cassette of Goodbye Jumbo playing in serious loop mode on my Walkman. That particular recording (coupled Marlboro lights) made my summer of 90 a better place. Karl is a brilliant songwriter.
