    I was so lucky to see him in Boston at age 18 in 1971, and still listening
    and loving his great songs at 71 as 2024 comes to a close. A truly underrated
    singer/songwriter. "Mellow Yellow" and "Sunshine Superman" were 2 of
    the best albums of the 60s. They were the first 'Fusion' albums, incorporating
    Rock, Jazz, Folk, Classical, Jazz and Indian Music before anyone knew what 'Fusion" was.
