yes, me too! Everything I have read says that he was an incredibly sweet, humble man. Did you know that his mother was the internationally famous flamenco artist Sarita Heredia? His father, who died young, was an influential artist and diplomat. Steve was very well educated and fluent in several languages.
@Mike Davis Thank you for the info on High Flyer. I thought I'd heard all the demos and later stuff the guys had done, but see this was just "released" a couple weeks ago. Great find. Listened to Airborne already. Very nice.
He was doing rehearsals with fellow bandmate George Cameron and Sam Kogon before he passed away, so there seemed to be plans for a reunion with Steve, but it unfortunately never materialised in time - George passed away a few months later, followed by Steve almost two years later. It's a shame that the band members couldn't put aside their differences. They made two fine albums in the 60s that will never be forgotten. Their legacy & music will live on.
I realize Steve loved John Lennon but let it be known that I, and countless other Left Banke followers, love Steve far more than John Lennon! To me, Steve is far superior!!
@@theleftbankeofficial I hear Steve's voice as having influences of both Paul and John. John's approach was drier, often cynical, and Paul's more sensitive, romantic.
John Lennon is far better artist then Steve could ever be. John Lennon inspired millions of kids to pick up the guitar, including Steve. Don’t you dare disparage Lennon.
Do you have any more interviews with Steve? Would be wonderful to hear more. This is the first time I think I’ve heard his spoken voice.
Here's a short radio interview from 1967 featuring Steve:

Would like to see more photos and videos of Steve in his later years in Florida.

How unfortunate that he fairly disappeared from music after such a short span. Such a great, great voice.

A beautiful soul.
Wow. Steve Martin Caro on the RUclips

Steve was asked to rejoin the group before he passed? I've read varying accounts.
Doubtful that he wanted to. He seemed reclusive and happy to be reclusive.

Tom Finn and Steve did tour as the Left Banke. I didn't see them, but found an autographed CD in a used bin.

Thank you for the support. John was Steve’s hero and biggest inspiration.
Wake me up when tHe BeAtLeS come up with something as good as Dark is the Bark.

If this is Steve Martin Caro, why does his complexion look so dark? Was he digitally altered?
It’s 100% Steve. This was filmed in a dimly lit hotel room, and he was in fact tan from living in Florida for many years.
@@theleftbankeofficial He also seemed to prefer being more anonymous later on, when he moved to Florida, at least.
@John JACOBS 818 It was the lighting. Steve was very fair skinned...like you said, he was Spanish.
