Sad news, he contributed much to the music industry over the years.The Trickster On The Roof -
I often confuse his name with Casey Jones, but he has left such a legacy when it came to familar music. He worked with Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Count Basie, to name but a few.
I was listening to the tributes on Radio 5 Live on Monday, and I was surprised to hear that Lesley Gore of "It's My Party" fame was described as someone that "hardly anyone had heard of" - I certainly heard of her because of that song which Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin took to number one in 1981. I suppose it was because of Jones that we "were" familiar with those songs originally.
His middle name was Delight - literally. He was a Delight to all of us!I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
I'm having so much fun
My lucky number's one
