I will give you some first-hand knowledge with misgivings, so please take this as you find. In the course of my work as a radio presenter, I interviewed a large number of household names. JLL was not one of them, but his sister was. Linda Gail Lewis was one of the friendliest, most helpful and jovial guests I have ever spoken to. With a sad heart, I am reading the accusations posted here. What I believe is totally irrelevant, however as a result of my on and off-air talk to Linda, I can say, for what it is worth, that I believe that those close to JLL either did not know or did not believe those accusations. I am fully aware that this counts for very little in the light of modern-day revelations, but it is something to hold on to as some of us may, rightly or wrongly, be sadly disillusioned. The music was and still is great, and while there's the swamp there is also the mountain top.
