I can remember “Rock Island Line” but the record I liked best was “ The Party’s Over” backed by Over the Rainbow.

Originally I thought it was a thread about diets!

Clearly he was a little ahead of his time in both musical and colour orientation, made some great tunes (and like many, some rubbish). He will be missed by many and its strange how through generations youngsters tended to 'follow' their favourites to cult status and even to gang and fighting level.

Mods/rockers, punks/romantics etc etc. You wonder how many of the original trailblazers would be promoted in the current market.
