Tim Buckley had an Issac Hayes Octive all the way to a Smokey Robinson Octive in “Sweet Surrender” on Greetings from LA Album. He gave me chills.

He was a little nasty and could not play some of his stuff on Radio, LOL! Remember Monkey Rub and Hong Kong Bar?

His son was no slouch either, damn shame he left us too young.

“32 posts and no mention of Sam Cooke?”

Yeah...that’s embarrassing. I can’t believe it...I threw in my three cents worth, too, but overlooked him.
