Well, I found myself in this awkward situation many times interviewing people Id tracked. They find it hard to distinguish between the interest of a specialist music scene, and tht UK music/chart scen

Hi Eddie, hope yre well mate. He cut other things but not as ‘Nabay’ and earlier.... not our genre. Yes Nabay has a theory about why it never did anything.... a very interesting one which Ill go
Ive been asked a few times recently about Nabay who I met way back in 1991. I interviewed him at the home he shared with his Mum, and later interviewed his brother in California. I also interviewed his friend who co wrote with him.
Dont wanna say too much coz I do intend to publish his story, so dont wanna pre empt the impact of that (pardon the pun lol). He was a lovely humble guy and his Mum was great too. They made me and my girlfriend at the time Jaqui Kavanagh so welcome.
He was good friends with Bob Babbitt, and was known locally in his Detroit neighbourhood by the nickname ‘Horse’ because of his strength and awesome street fighting abilities apparently. Another great talent let down by the exploitative music industry.
So here it is, as far as I know, the first photo of him our scene has ever seen; remember you saw it here first. I keep hearing and reading so much speculation about him; I thought it was time to show this. I have other photos in colour, but thought this black and white one was a good one for here.
Enjoy
Tim
