Jeannette Obstoj

Jeannette-Thérèse Obstoj was a British songwriter, best known for her work as a lyricist, usually working in collaboration with musician Rupert Hine. The Hine/Obstoj team wrote songs for Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, and Wilson Phillips, as well as writing all the songs on Hine's solo albums Immunity (Rupert [Hine album)|Immunity], Waving Not Drowning and Wildest Wish to Fly, and on the three albums Hine released using the identity Thinkman. Obstoj also occasionally wrote lyrics for songs by The Fixx, including their 1986 hit "Secret Separation", with music for these tracks being credited to the band as a whole.
Obstoj also worked as a video producer/director, lensing several of Hine's video clips, as well as selected videos by The Fixx, including “Less Cities More Moving People”, “Stand or Fall” and “One Thing Leads to Another”.
Obstoj died on 26 March 2015 after a short and sudden illness.
