and got a little behind in his work.

The police are looking into it.

12. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

18. It's not that the man did not know how to juggle,
he just didn't have the balls to do it.

Practice safe sects!

What an excellent memory you have Rik.  Lonnie's version was equally as good.

It's strange, Clive, I didn't 'notice' LD that much at the time, but I find I remember lots of his songs, and not just the hits, eg "The party's over".

I always liked his songs but I think Steal Away was too melancholic to be a huge hit for anyone!

Though a good rendition of the spirit of the song.

A quick google revealed that it was the flipside of "Pick a Bale of Cotton" but it certainly had airplay at the time otherwise I would not have heard his version.  I actually had a copy of Pat Boone's version on a compilation LP which I no longer have.

He was probably the first singer, at least that I can remember, who brought spirituals to the mainstream. A talented man, under-rated at the time, imo.
