The master of country soul just died last Sunday. He was hugely influential but never got fame for most of his work, was quite a hell-raiser and died broke and obscure. In other words, a rock and roll life lived to the full.

Among his songs:
Ode to Billie Joe (which he let his girlfriend Bobby Gentry take credit for)
Nikki Hoeky
JuJu Man

More later....
