Always found it ironic that a couple of cool guys like Herbie Flowers and Kenny Pickett of Creation, one of my favourite bands of the 1960s, had their biggest commercial success by co-writing Grandad for Clive Dunn, Now, sadly, all of them are no longer with us.

I first became aware of him in the '70s when he was cast as the author, Alex Haley, in the TV series 'Roots'; I'd never heard such a wonderful, rich voice - I later read he was offered the part of 'Chicken' George in the same series but for various reasons he never got/took the part. A fine actor who had a good long innings. RIP
