Sad news.
Maze were high quality and Frankie fronted the band to a tee. Saw them in London when they were at their peak. A great night. He leaves behind some superb recordings.
I read somewhere that the master tapes were with Annette when she died in the plane crash. Great to have a couple of tracks from the MS sessions. But 40+ years in the can?
She was a fabulous singer. Who knows what she might have recorded.
As far as radio is concerned I rated Peter Young highly.
Championed Soul music, knowledgeable, open minded, enthusiastic with a great manner at the mic. He was also a really funny bloke.
Bruce is OK. The River is a great song.
Doing covers of soul tracks is fine by me., not that i think this particular cover is anything to write home about.
