Bill,
I figured you would like him. He is one of many artist that died to early.
You know,car runs off the road after a gig killing him and a few band members.
He was 33. He's from DC and was in a group with Marvin Gaye called the Rainbows.
Billy has a few LP's of Jazz standards one titled "Unbelievable" on Chess
records.
He does Foggy Day ,Old Man as well as Summertime. His song "Sitting in the
Park"
is one of the most covered songs among Reggae artist. Some artist just transend
time,Billy is one of them. I feel the same way when I hear Coltrane or see
a Van Gough. A true original. Thanks for checking him out!
respect

Cool stuff. "Park" almost has a reggae thing in addition to the cool
doowop and urban vibe. I like it. Make out with your wife music!
I do love you. Romantic stuff. I am pretty unfamiliar with Billy, but
I sure like him. It's like 70's soul without the schmaltz...
Summertime rules! He riffs all over the tune without losing the essence
of it at all. Great stuff.
Look Back and Smile is great too. I love the guitar thing between
verses.
It's all good man, and made me feel much better thanks!
Now check this out. I saw the Moody Blues last week and they kicked
butt all over the building. Those guys are in their 60's now and are
better than when I saw them in 74. Sooo , I have been in a rut with my
guitar playing and I decided to learn a few Moodies tunes.
So far, I have this one down:

and this one:

I have been doing Night in White Satin for years and it still knocks me
out. Now if I could just sing like that.
It's been terrific to learn these tunes and I am getting back to my own
with more passion.
Anyway, music is the best.
take care
DC

Nap, Here's a super nice clip with my all time fav guitarman not even
picking up his instrument.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCaPno7QChY
First time I saw George was in LA at the old Coconut Grove, an old style
supper club, with Al Jarreau opening. In the middle of GB's set he
played Summertime and "someone" started singing. I figured it was Al,
but he was nowhere to be seen. I finally realized it was GB. He had a
mic in front of him all night for talking to the audience. Blew me away
twice. In reading some liner notes I learned he sang professionally, as
a buy, before he became (IMHO) the world's greatest guitar player.
