I went to see him at The Free Trade Hall in Manchester in the 70s
He was amazing and I was smitten. I do remember that he kept on bringing "this woman" on to sing with him. I was well miffed. Found out later it was the wonderful Rita Coolidge. Not sure if they were married at the time. He was brilliant as a song writer and performer. Loved his "Silver Tongued Devil". I was shocked to realise his age as he'll always be that age when I first saw him.
