Obituary

At the age of 73, he passed away on Friday after a short illness. I still have both Curved Air and Sky albums from back in the day but I kinda lost touch with him along the way. I know he was involved in various film soundtracks and worked with some top musicians. Gone too young.

Although I was aware of him for most of my life, I couldn’t have named anything from his oeuvre. He seems to have ‘gone ape’ in the 50’s and was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Adam Faith and Cliff Richard. Apparently, Lennon & McCartney sought his autograph when he appeared in Liverpool. He liked a bow tie – and the bigger the better.

Gone at 96. What a man, what a life! Music, acting, politics, humanitarianism. I remember back in the late 50’s or early 60’s, as a small child, singing ‘There’s a Hole in my Bucket’. Emmys, grammys. Sadly gone.
