Hello. Major was married to my sister for whom he wrote Black Eyed Susan. He has two grown up children who are talented and socially aware. Major still lives in London, and I hear occassionally plays and sings for friends and when pushed commercially. But you are right. He had a most wonderful voice, that could be both tender (heartbreakingly so), and also as powerful as an old steam engine! I also loved his guitar work (he kindly showed me a couple of great tricks!) and especially his very special finger strumming style. I wonder if others remember it? I haven't seen him since emigrating years ago, but I bet he can still sing a mean song.
