HE DIED AFTER SHORT ILLNESS 

Marc passed away last year in November after a short illness, leaving behind his younger brother Alex and their mother. The duo gained fame in the South African music industry in the late 1980s with their crossover hit song "Quick Quick," which topped the charts at number 1 on many radio stations. The Soweto born pop stars, became famous at a time when apartheid was rearing its ugly head and their songs were played in both black and white radio stations. The news of Marc's passing last year came as a shock to many fans, friends and family members.
