What Greater Love one of my favourite's. I believe he was from New Orleans.

Lived in Belgium for a number of years & cut tracks there.

Is this confirmed? I heard it from someone, posted a tribute on our pow wow facebook page, but I cant find any official report of it.

A pivotal figure I am sure he was in NY for a while. RIP.

RIP

 

Had the knack for writing some whacky way-out lyrics; just listen to Swim and Ode to a Discotheque.

The latter possibly being his rarest ?   UK only ?   on Polydor 56158 from 1967.  B side of Joe Poor loves Daphne Elizabeth Rich.

Mick Smith played this to me back in 1990 at his place.   He said he once played it at the "100 Club".

Always been a difficult find [even to those who even know it] and usually sold for £50-100.  One went more recently on ebay for over £400, so maybe peeps really want it now.

Cheers..................   Tom.
