Gregory Fleeman: In Memoriam
Gregory Fleeman -- an old pal of mine from our Greenwich Village days in the late 70s/early 80s, who was the most brilliantly funny satirical singer/songwriter it was my privilege to know -- has passed.
I will have more (and hopefully more eloquent things to say about him) tomorrow. In the meantime, this song...about Elvis Presley and Liberace...
Sorry to hear this news, Steve. I know you were a fan of his of long standing. I remember you wrote a couple of pieces about Mr. Fleeman back in your days at STEREO REVIEW. I think one of them was from around 1979 or 1980, when you were doing the inside-back cover column "Simels Live".
Big Bob Goulet - heh.
ReplyDeleteThe music is pretty good too.
