Listening to Pink Moon just now, and cannot believe this guy's stuff was so criminally overlooked during his short working lifetime. I know we've discussed him at odd times before, but he really was something special. Has been in vogue for a few years now, since the likes of Paul Weller cited him as a major influence, but I cannot understand what was so much better in the early 1970s that his career didn't take off.

And yes, Tarquin, I'm familiar with his mental history

Never heard his work but it sounds good there were quite a few in the 70s who never got anywhere Duncan Browne was another.

His sister, Gabrielle, had a blue wig in UFO........always wondered if her carpet matched the curtains

Saw her even younger in a 1968 Saint episode few weeks back

She also appeared in one of the Mayfair loops and had a few nude roles in 70's softcore romps

She flashed her tits in The Au Pair girls

Sorry mate, I know its a bastard when you post something of intrest and it takes no more than two posts before it goes off on a tangent with references to tits and programmes they appeared in from yester-year.

No worries, Ace. I knew it would happen, which is why I delayed posting.

And his sis was seriously hot.

Right, have to be going. See you guys later.

I totally agree with Caractacus, Nick Drake was wonderful, a haunting voice and superb musical ability. For those who don't know his music I would suggest Riverman and Fruit Tree as a good into to his repertoire.

Who recalls John Martyn?
