sgcim Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) He doth bestrode the world like a giant! Genius songwriter, IMHO., and great singer/guitarist. Played the alto sax, too. Edited May 15, 2022 by sgcim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 ‘Known’ — but unconfirmed (and probably uncomfortable). But it is certainly plausible that it could be him (as much as can be said for supposed footage of someone, when their face isn’t even visible on camera). I have to confess the first I ever heard Nick Drake was courtesy of Volkswagen… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 The figure in that footage certainly matches descriptions of Drake. I.e., he was a tall dude. If it is him, how appropriate that he's walking away from the camera — and the viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extraordinary artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure it is him. I know the wore that maroon jacket for photo shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of his sister Gabrielle who has done so much to preserve his legacy and that of their mother, Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Joe Boyd on Nick Drake. I like what he says (speculation though it may be) about the possible influence of bossa nova on Drake's music. Also, this video about Drake's distinctive sound.

romualdo Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Wow!! huge Nick Drake fan - have been since the late 70s Robert Kirby's string arrangements are sublime IMHO there is more footage (looks like it's contemporary though) Edited May 16, 2022 by romualdo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
