A wonderful talent. His “Ruby” was a huge hit when I was a kid. RIP.
RIP.
Sad to hear - I still have my original record of “Ruby” as well as a follow-up recording, “Somersault”, which was a three minute harmonica takeoff on Offenbach’s “Orpheus in the Underworld” and a great way to help transition from the world of “soft” classical music such as was heard on some of the popular radio shows of the day to the “hard” stuff - I also still have my album of his “Havana in Hi-Fi”, with its “Rhapsodero” and “Del Prado”, filling a little eighth-grader’s head with visions of an exciting world far away - RIP......
