Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 13, 2019 From Feb 2018: "The highlight of the evening however, was Rod & Barry’s colleague of yesteryear, Glen Dale singing ‘You’ve Got Your Troubles’ with us. Glen unfortunately lost a leg through illness and was wheelchair bound, but that did not stop his fabulous voice from soaring through the air! It was an absolute pleasure for me to perform onstage with Glen again." He had lost a leg to (diabetes?), he should have been on our radar. We all dropped the ball.

JQW 283 Posted January 14, 2019 On 11/01/2019 at 15:03, charon said: Backing singer Clydie King dead. Impressive career, and another on Sweet Home Alabama to die of late. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/clydie-king-ray-charles-bob-dylan-singer-dead-777417/ That article only covers a small number of the significant sessions she made. Clydie King, usually together Venetta Fields and Sherlie Matthews, were the go-to backing for many Los Angeles recording sessions for the majority of the 1970s. They were not always credited, or simply credited as The Blackberries. Other acts she definitely worked with include Captain Beefheart (on 'Clear Spot'), Tim Buckley (on 'Greetings From LA'), Gene Clark (on 'No Other'), and possibly Stevie Wonder (on 'Music Of Of Mind' - uncredited). There's also some other less worthy acts she backed up - she's on Leo Sayer's 'Endless Flight' (available from a charity shop near you) and possibly also a James Last album (he recorded 'Best Kept Secret' in LA with the usual LA session crew, and Venetta Fields is pictured on the back cover).
