I remember that well, he had just finished his last show here at the Hippodrome and was returning to London when he had that fateful accident.

Re: Who do you wish had lived forever?

I had no idea how he died, that is so awfully sad.

It was Cate, . . I have one of his albums and he was a great loss the the rock-and-roll era, . . the taxi hit a lamppost by all accounts.

Re: Who do you wish had lived forever?

Poor young man to come all this way to die but then so many singers of that era died so sadly either in RTA's or air crashes. I was readying about Bobby Darin he was only 37 when he died but he had been ill.
to name but a few who died tragically, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Patsy Cline and James Dean.
