Yup. And many others made famous by other artists or groups. Cale was a huge influence in modern rock and country. He's a huge loss to music.

Great song JohnnyO......70's songs where the best. We had the best bikes and best music in that decade....infact, what was bad about the 70's?

Bay City Rollers, Leif Garrett, Abba, crooked NSW and Queensland conservative governments, The Leyland P76.......but everything else was pretty damn good....one of the best decades of the century. 1976 was the best year in my life for way too many reasons to explain here 8).

 JJ Cale, left us with some all time classics, my favourite being 'After Midnight'.......thank you old fella, a generation is grateful.

Vale the great man. It's funny the things you remember. At the Tewantin Hotel at Noosa listening to the cover band belt out Cocaine in about '77. J PS Skynyrds rendition of "call me the breeze" still gets a hiding in my car.

The Leyland P76......

The P76 V8 engine was pretty good.
JJ Cale was very good.
