As his popularity soared, Robbie became more
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and more playful with his image. He appeared
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
pensive, almost demure, on the sleeve for
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Angels in 1997, and later posed, prettied-up, in
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
moody black-and-white shots with his jumper
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
pulled up over most of his face on various CD
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and DVD covers. But as the century closed
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
was a winner: it used a sample that had been
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
knocking around for a couple of years, one lifted
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---

--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
