Sad. Loved his renditions of the Jimmy Webb songs in particular - that was one of the most inspired songwriter/performer pairings this side of Bacharach and David / Dionne Warwick. Knew his best-known songs from an early age because my parents are big fans - some of my earliest musical memories involve hearing the "20 Greatest Hits" compilation during long car journeys as a nipper. R.I.P. dude.
