A fantastic, unique entertainer, we won’t see anything like him again.......plus he could have won a gold medal for sweating
I watched an interview with him a few years ago and he was seriously strange, with him holding court like a mediaeval king from what I recall was a motel room. Talented guy though, and was a huge influence on a huge number of artists, including The Beatles and Prince. Jimi Hendrix used to play in his band too, in his early pre-fame days as a depping/session guitarist on the circuit.
