Balls.

Man. I hate to hear that. 'Alarm Clock' was a great album.

This performance will always be his legacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf1B9ktRCkg&feature=player_detailpage

Yep. Incredible. His version of Lady Madonna is amazing too

I used to love all of the old Beat Club stuff when MTV had the Closet Classics Capsule in the 80's. Introduced me to a LOT of random 60's stuff--including Richie Havens.

His version of "Fire and Rain". Probably a good song to reflect on for those of us who read and post on this thread.
