couldnt believe when Mark told me last night, tragic news, really sad, first met Mick at Stafford and got chatting through a mutual friend, Chris Brennan who'd been in the RAF with Mick, and although a few years older and had a few more years on the scene, was enthusiastic and welcoming to us Southerners, think he bought "Baby Boy" Juanita Williams off me for a couple of quid, this was a time when no one wanted "common" records on Golden World and the like, and mostly they sat unloved at the back of most record boxes, next time I saw him, he gave me a couple of records as a thanks, as he'd managed to buy about 20 records for a quid and under he wouldn't have bothered looking at and couldn't thank me enough. He really was one of the good guys, I'll really miss not seeing him turn up with that big grin. Condolences go out to his family who, hopefully can get some comfort from the sentiments expressed from all his soul family on here and on Facebook.
Rest in Peace my friend, you've left us far too soon x
