Hope your well mate?

Wrote for absolutely loads of top, top performers, including most of Dionne Warwick's hits, for Cilla Black, The Drifters, Cliff Richard and loads of others but this will forever be one of my favourites of Burt's

I never knew Three Wheels on my Wagon was written by Burt until yesterday. A radio staple from my childhood.

Yes very sad. I knew he had heart issues, but still v unexpected.

The very first concert I went to was the launch of De La Soul is Dead - back in 91. Support acts: MC Merlin, PM Dawn and Tribe Called Quest. I saw De La a few times since then, at the Astoria in 2002, and the Essential Festival in 2001 (Biz Markie stole the show, naturally) https://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/essentialfestivals/2001/lineup.shtml

Ah man, loved their samples, their message, their positivity. Its a shame that Dave never got to see their music streamed properly.
