Charles only had 6-7 years in the limelight, but he oozed soul and passion out of every pore. Blessed to see him live 4 times. After such a tough life, her deserved better.
I remember seeing his first appearance on the Old Grey Whistle test and thought this is something special. Very sad news indeed, will dig out some of his albums today
or at 82 depending on who you believe. I saw him a couple of years back at the Vortex and he informed us that we were in a ghetto. To which I thought "Jeez he should have seen this place 10 years ago - no flat whites no nothin'!"

Ouch, that hurts. Completely unexpected, apparently. There's a very touching tribute by his brother at http://tommykeene.com/
