Shame but he did burn the candle at both ends. Loved his music - top 5:

Home is where the Hatred is
Whitey on the Moon
Pieces of a Man
Lady Day and John Coltrane
Get Out of the Ghetto Blues

    You forgot the ONE piece worth remembering and which made his fame and small fortune. The Revolution will not be Televised. Farewell to a man who made the absolute most of an above average talent.

    I guess the surprise is he lasted this long but still sad to hear he's gone.

    Billy Green is dead
    Lady Day
    Get out of the ghetto blues
    Small talk at 125th
    And have to include Revolution

    And his dad was I believe Celtic's first Black player.

    A soulful determined man and brilliant musician, I can't imagine him resting in peace somehow, he will be making music and revolution somewhere.
