Background

Farrow was born in Frankfurt, West Germany.[citation needed] Originally a model, he was most noted for his debut single "Should I Love You", which peaked at no. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 22, 1983.[2] The single also entered the R&B Singles chart on October 8, 1983, and peaked at no. 91.[3] He released one full-length LP, titled Red and Blue, on the Rocshire label in 1983. The label suffered legal problems and all its assets, including master tapes, were seized.[4] The album never has been officially re-issued on CD.

Farrow also designed over a dozen album covers for Rochshire and Graphite Records' artists, including his own debut album, the 1983 album The Boy Is Mine by Caro,[5] and the 1984 album Stage Struck by Justine Johns.[6][7]

In August 1984 he married April M Gabrielle (April M. Kruzinski) in Nevada.[8] During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Farrow and April ran a series of nightclubs in the Los Angeles area. Among these were The Apartment Club (1988–90), The Bitter End (1985) and Maxx.[9]

Farrow re-surfaced with another single "Imagination" in 1991 under the label Graphite Records, although it failed to gain any success.[10] A music video was created for the single.[11]

Farrow died on May 7, 1993, in West Hollywood, California, reportedly of a brain disease attributed to AIDS. He was cremated and his funeral was held at Greystone Manor in Los Angeles.[12]
