a damn shame

Sad news. I met him once and did an interview. I asked him why he grew the finger nail on his middle finger so long, it was about 1-2 inches long! He promptly gave me the bird... and I understood.

RIP

Sorry to hear that. There was good interview in waxpoetics a few years ago. Overlooked, and I guess not everyone realises produced Gwen McCrae's 90% of me is You

Yes, would be erroneous to overlook an extensive career of writing producing performing and recording prior to his period as Blowfly.

... I guess not everyone realises produced Gwen McCrae's 90% of me is You

I'd never noticed that he wrote this.

[bongolia]

he co-wrote Della Humphrey's "Don't Make The Good Girls Go Bad", Betty Wright's "Girls Can't Do What the Guys Do" and "Clean Up Woman" and loads more

not heard most of his own output, but my favourite of his I've heard is "There'll Come A Day" on Dial

[The Divine One]

"Masterpiece" is a bit of an, err, masterpiece...
