I met him 20 years ago at a small party, he was there with Mike Read & Graham Dene the radio presenters and some tennis pros amongst others. He was rather charming we chatted about marriage ( I'd just got married to my future ex wife) he told me that the reason he never got married was because unlike most people he didn't want to marry someone he could live with, he wanted to marry someone he couldn't live without. I found that intriguing.
As for his music I can take it or leave it, though when I first heard Devil Woman I thought it was a brilliant song.
