Alfredo,

I don't have the cds in front of me and his name escapes me. He did sing backing vocals on the first cd at least and is listed on Lint. He was the main writing and creative force of the band. He grew up in South Africa, I believe, which is where those influences that you hear on the cds came from. He really wasn't replaced but his contract just stopped him from being able to record with HOS. His voice is not as strong as the current singer but it is very smooth and after a few listens, I liked it better.
