After working on a production with Kristian Hoffman, whose band Mumps were playing Max’s Kansas City and CBGB, the two began working together—with Hoffman writing originals and picking cover versions of popular songs that would showcase Nomi’s multi-octave vocal range. Nomi’s second album, Simple Man, appeared in 1982 featuring Hoffman’s title track and covers of Doris Troy’s “Just One Look” and “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” from The Wizard Of Oz—plus songs from renaissance composers John Dowland and Henry Purcell. It would sadly be Nomi’s last album of original material before his AIDS-related death in 1983.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e01    From Beyond\u003cbr\u003e02    After The Fall\u003cbr\u003e03    Just One Look\u003cbr\u003e04    Falling In Love Again\u003cbr\u003e05    Icurok\u003cbr\u003e06    Rubberband Lazer\u003cbr\u003e01    Wayward Sisters\u003cbr\u003e02    Ding Dong\u003cbr\u003e03    Three Wishes\u003cbr\u003e04    Simple Man\u003cbr\u003e05    Death\u003cbr\u003e06    Return\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003estreet date 8\/28\/2026\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45129615474888,"sku":"810075116458","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/93_dc07f94b-ca46-4d88-8eea-87a30bca2355.jpg?v=1783011604","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/810075116458","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
