Edwyn Collins

You might remember Edwyn Collins from his 1994 hit rocker “A Girl Like You” Anyway, I just found out in this CNN article that he suffered a major stroke back in 2005 that pretty much erased all of his songs from his memory. It's pretty scary stuff. Among other things, he’s had to battle with dysphasia (struggling to find words) while relearning his own material. But he’s back performing, and supposedly his voice is in fine form.
