Sad news indeed. He made discover the richness of the New Orleans musical World, mix of blues, créole, cajun, jazz, zideco, funk and so on.

So long, dear doctor

I just read on Wikipedia that he contributed on EOMS. I did not know that and what role he played on my favorite album.

If I am correct de John did some backing vocals on eoms, on the gospel like tunes I think

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Wow - he has own great catalog but to hear that he played on one of the greatest songs in the history of the Stones is amazing.

RIP & thanks for the hits. Well remembered.
