Brilliant composer/lyricist and harmonist, and like with so many others, introduced me to and fuelled my love for, the joy of singing harmonies. Vale, Brian.

Also loved their surfing songs of course, but lived pretty far from the beach - and anyway, I was a lousy swimmer, haha!! Didn't stop us knowing all the words to the BB songs though :) |

Here are a few posts from some of his peers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D11em_W2m_E&t=433s I note that at 7:13, my fave Steve Perry (of Journey fame), also commemorates the late Sly Stone. R-J |
