JSngry Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 So, he writes this song, "Everything Must Change", that's damn near anthematic of a certain timeplacemindset, het pops up here and there doing this and that, and then what? He dies? Moves to Delaware? Finds god? ? Where he does show up is in some pretty good company, so the cat must have had something going on. So, what's his story?

He dies? Moves to Delaware? Finds god? ? Where he does show up is in some pretty good company, so the cat must have had something going on. So, what's his story? first of all, it's "benard" and he feels very strongly about people knowing that and getting it right! LOL! IMHO, his talent has been one of the biggest wastes of all-time! he's written much, much more than "EMC" and songs that are just as incredible too! he just seems unable to do whatever is necessary to play the "entertainment game" and get himself out there. he recently returned from a few years in greece and is now living in houston (which is his original home). there are some folks that are trying to get him another record deal. the last one, many years ago with mca, he blew, big-time. and that's a thumb-nail sketch of what i know.

JSngry Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Thanks, Valerie. That's a bigger thumbnail than what I've had on my hand. And my apologies to you, Benard, wherever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'm surprised all you Jimmy Smith addicts don't know that Benard sang on "I'd rather drink muddy water" on Jimmy's album "Sum serious blues". Good, too. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
