Hi All

For those that might be interested.

George was the lead singer on 'Pyramid'.

I keep in touch with George from time to time and was on the phone to him today and sadly he has not been well. He was admitted to the hospital on 11/28/09 because he was having breathing difficulties. The hospital was having trouble diagnosing him and at one point, it almost looked like he wasn't going to recover. The doctors went from congestive heart failure to emphysema to pneumonia and back again. They settled on emphysema, in addition to his other ailments. Once he was stabilized, he was transferred to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation (12/18/09) and finally returned home a couple of weeks ago. He had been quite ill, but is recovering now.

He was thrilled when I told him about the 'Top Hundred Chart' being put together on here and that his record was chosen by so many in their charts. He sends his love to everyone over here on the soul scene.

Dave, that's nice. Next time you speak wish him all the best from us over here. Without him and so many others like him our lives would be much, much duller.

Hope he recovers and maybe one day he can be in England to meet some of us if he does a show

Dave, that's nice. Next time you speak wish him all the best from us over here.

Would like to fully include myself in the 'us' and wish George a speedy recovery to full health.

Pyramid is probably one of the greatest vocal performances on any soul record inmho, it has the power to bring a tear to the eye every time I hear it

Get well soon George!

The greatest imvho.

Think the size of the guy aids that unique vocal range he has.
