Background

Christian F. Kruzinski (September 4, 1956 - May 7, 1993),[2] known also as Cee Farrow, was a new wave artist of the early 1980s.

Originally a model, Farrow 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.[3] The single also entered the R&B Singles chart on October 8, 1983 and peaked at number 92.[4] He released one full-length LP, Red and Blue, on the Rocshire label in 1983. The label suffered legal problems and all its assets, including master tapes were seized.[5] The album has never been 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[6] and the 1984 album Stage Struck by Justine Johns.[7][8]

In August, 1984 he married April M Gabrielle (April M. Kruzinski) in Nevada.[9] 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.[10]

Farrow re-surfaced with another single "Imagination" in 1991 under the label Graphite Records, although it failed to gain any success.[11] A music video was created for the single.[12]

He 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, Ca.[13]
