Saw him once in Chicago’s Orchestra Hall when he was still big in the folk music genre. He had the audience in his hand. Moved A FINGER and the entire hall went silent. Then he played and it was pure heaven. Never seen a singer who could control so completely and receive so much respect.
His were the only albums I had in college and played them over and over again. ADORE the man.
There is a certain aura around the artists who created new forms of music, and pushed the boundaries.
That’s what’s missing today, there’s no more originality.
