What a loss, the only positive fifty years down the line is that he left a fantastic body of work untainted by the pressures of commercialism further down the line
I have always thought that, had he not been in that plane crash, he would have dwarfed anything that Elvis, Micky J, Prince et al managed. He was a consummate performer, equally at home with ballads, mid tempo and 100 mph blasters. A presence on stage. I have a DVD of some of his live performances. Magical. I also believe that he would not have been ruined by being forced into over acting in a series of damned awful and cheesy films............
