(For some reason this didn’t appear as scheduled on Friday 18th) so I’ve rescheduled it for today.
Dave Cousins, singer, songwriter and main man of The Strawbs, died last week.
I featured their first UK hit, Lay Down, here.
Their biggest hit, Part of the Union, wasn’t written by Cousins but also wasn’t entirely typical of their output.
Their only other top 40 hit was this one.
The Strawbs: Shine on Silver Sun
David Joseph (Dave) Cousins (born David Joseph Hindson): 7/1/1940 – 13/7/25. So it goes.
