He had quite a career, spanning from psychedelic rock to country/pop music. May he RIP.

As they say in life, "You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold em." I love "I Just Dropped In" when they used it in "The Big Lebowski".

A tru talent. From the era where you had to be good to be famous.

I saw him doing a radio interview (Howard Stern?) and he started singing Ruby. Acapella, nothing to guide him for pitch. They cut to the music video and he had been singing in perfect pitch and tempo.

I wonder if he ever caught Will Sasso impersonating him on
mad TV?

So many great songs. It may be that 'Coward of the County' is my favorite.

But I do have a sweet tooth for that 'We've got tonight' with Sheena Easton.

RIP

Always enjoyed his songs in the late 70's & early 80's. One of my earliest albums (yes, vinyl) was The Gambler. Wow...was that really '78? I'm feeling old.

My wife was going through the playlist that Apple Music curated and it's just a gold mine of singles. I'd almost forgotten what a huge impact he had.
