That’s sad.I used to dream of working with that guy in a nice analog studio with a plate reverb. Thanks for the beautiful sounds he left for us to study.
 
 
   

His work certainly played a large part in my turning over to The Dark Side and finally starting to like some of that rock music stuff.  The Moodies would have likely just been another band whose musical aspirations far exceeded their reach without him.  Thanks for the announcement, Martin, and Tony - thanks for all the wonderful work.
