I can still see him and feel him live, can't recall what venue in SF, I think he may of been with the Chambers brothers? or Country Joe / Fish.
This man was the pinnacle of the times. Another disciple of the Electric Church.

I live down the street from the bridge named after him in Macon, GA. Macon has to be one of the most prolific cities for music talent in the US with a population under a million. It is unreal who rolled out of here.

Their styles were quite different, for one thing, but as previously mentioned, we all win. |

I have to give the edge to Sam Cooke, but I don't really think it's a 'versus' issue. I think they'dve loved to share a stage and riff off each other. Who wins? WE do. |
