cryptique Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 One of the best of all time, gone far too early. Underappreciated in his heyday ... I was glad to see him enjoying success in his later years, and he was still putting out some damn fine music. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
