Sadly, the "One Hundred Pounds of Clay" dude passed away recently. He was much more than that. He co-wrote "Work Song" with my friend Oscar Brown Jr, and, more importantly, wrote what I think is the best protest song ever..."Compared to What?", recorded best by Les McCann. Les knew he would stir things up, but the song was so important he did it anyway, and sold a million copies.

Neat guy...met him once in LA when he appeared on the Steve Allen Show.

Really shows the power of music and the contribution of those who write and perform it.
