Another legend in "rock 'n roll heaven". No doubt having a few frothies with Joe Cocker at the moment.

Who is he?
English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

Can only assume you're younger and not a "student" of late 60's and early 70's music....

In the 70's football (not music) was the focus for me followed by school work and girls :D, music really didn't make the grade other than watching countdown each week :)

'Leon Russell and the Shelter People' was one of the first albums I bought back in 1971.

Was pivotal in Joe Cocker's 'Mad Dogs and Englishman' album and tour in 1970.
