(39,807 posts)5. I caught him live in Europe, 53 years ago
In that period, he was kinda a nobody, but he put on a spectacular show (he included his daughter in the show). Soon after a saw him, I noticed came-back from the doldrums. Solid songwriter even if it wasnt stuff I was really interested in.

I have Sirius FN satellite radio in my car and this one channel yacht rock plays the song all the time. I heard it yesterday and was humming along with it !
RIP Neil you brought great music into our lives in the 70s !

We I saw him, he mostly performed all his Brill Building pop/bubble gum music. Solid music, but not my thing.
