When radio stations play the long single segment it’s always on the list, up there with Staircase to Heaven Bohemian Rhapsody and the like.
RIP John, if you can be remembered for one classic tune, you've not done bad, not bad at all.

A sad loss; but he did well - I really liked that song!
Alas he was one of many this year

See Below John's obit for the in memoriam section - there are quite a few that I hadn't realised had gone.
RIP to all...........

I was surprised that he turned up in Tina Turner's band in the '80s. Wrote some very memorable songs, including one that caused him to be questioned by the police about the Yorkshire Ripper murders. The perpetrator was thought to be from the NE at the time, and apart from having written a song 'Nice Man Jack' about the 19th century serial killer for whom the term 'ripper' was coined, John was supposed to have played some gigs not far from the scenes of the crime on the same dates.
