I remember during the 1960's that Gene put out an album and it had alot of the songs on it that you folks speak of...his voice was one of the most unique and smooth in quality for the era...he had a really unappreciated career by the popular music industry and public at the time...it would only be fitting if the CBC or some other music entity in Canada paid tribute to him...he seems to have been a "behind the scenes" guy that was admired by songsters and musicians alike from that era...truly a gifted songwriter who has passed away and it seems so has his music....most unfortunate indeed.
