RIP JJ Cale

[twocorgis]

Another legend gone, this time to a heart attack. :frown:

That's sad - a great songwriter! "Call Me the Breeze" and "After Midnight" come to mind. He will be missed...

He did his own thing in his own way. I play his music pretty regularly; He's a long time favorite.
Play on, JJ, you will be missed.

Sad news, indeed. Rest in peace, JJ......

That news has put a huge dampener on my Sunday. Such a cool, simple man. I'm shattered.

Couldn't agree more. A subtle master, true to himself. Many favourites; 'Downtown LA' being up there. Great lyrics.

From our Sydney Morning Herald here, syndicated from NYT. Glad he rated a mention. They reckon Albert Lee is the 'man without ego'. Cale gave him a run on that one.

Sad to see him gone. Saturday night we played "Cocaine", "Magnolia", and "They Call me the Breeze" in memorial.

One of the really "real good ones"

Hope it's OK to post one last YT link, to mark a week gone. J J and Christine, in a (Dutch?) studio. Video quality and sound are good. Looks like they had a long loving life together.
