I Grew Up Loving This Song When I Was A Kid,Its Sad To Hear That Ricardo Has Passed Away...R.I.P..:(:(:(
Cape Town - Legendary Cape singer Ricardo Groenewald passed away on Wednesday night at the age of 43...
His death, after a long battle with cancer, comes just days after a special benefit concert held for him by friends in the music industry.
The former child star was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Tygerberg Hospital on Tuesday.
The "I Love You Daddy" hitmaker had been in hospital for the past two months, receiving treatment.
On Wednesday night close friend, singer John Koopman, told the Daily Voice that Ricardos wife Helen had confirmed his passing.
Hospital
Born in Humansdorp, Ricardo began singing at the age of five.
At the tender age of eight, he released "I Love You Daddy" which made him a household name. In 1989, he performed alongside Stevie Wonder on the Children Of The World Tour.
He made his last public appearance on Sunday, at a packed hall at the His Grace Performing Arts Centre in Parow, in a wheelchair.
Cape musicians like Jonathan Rubain, Ameen Rappin Donkey Levy and Zoe Zana performed.
Ricardo smiled broadly when his 11-year-old son, Rick-lynn, performed "I Love You Daddy".
Former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers also thanked Ricardo for bringing the coloured community together.
Ricardo is survived by his wife Helen and their three children....

He Composed And Sung This Song At The Tender Age Of Just 8...
Daddy
You know how much I love you
I need you forever
I 'll stay by your side
Daddy oh Daddy
I want always bliss you
But I never stop trying
to be your number one
You understand me....
You teach me how to pray..
And you play the game I love to play
I have no fear here when you are near
You guide me through the dark is night
I love you Daddy...
You are my hero (and you always in my dream)
I love you daddy oh daddy
You are my superstar
Daddy
You know how much I love you
I want you to help me
Please show me the way
Daddy oh Daddy
Sometimes I might do wrong
But I never stop trying
To be your number one

I'll be as strong as you
When I grow up I still look up to you
So have no fear here I believe here
I will be my daddy's boy
I love you Daddy...
You are my hero (and you always in my dream)
I love you daddy oh daddy
You are my superstar

The one in a million and a million in one
Forever I want to be by your side
You're in a million
Show me the way
