I first encountered his work as a kid on the 'That Was The Week That Was' TV show. Had no idea he was still alive - 97 is quite a run. These are the songs of his that always stuck with me:

Could have been, or else may have been a timing thing, depending on when your crowd started buying rock albums. From what I see, Paranoid (released 1970) went 4x platinum, Masters of Reality (released 1971) and We Sold Our Soul (released 1976) each went 2x platinum, and nothing else went more than single platinum. We Sold Our Soul was a double album, which I think was specially priced (I never owned it), so it probably looked like the better "deal" back then.

Saw him live once in the mid-70's with his quartet/quintet (forget which) and Esther Satterfield at one of the venues in Fairmount Park. Really good show from what I remember.

Thanks for sharing, good article!

I saw him twice, once in the 70's at Keystone Korner (that spectacular triple bill, Hutcherson's quintet along with Max Roach's quartet featuring Billy Harper/Reggie Workman, and Dexter Gordon playing with Eddie Henderson and Hutcherson's rhythm section of Cables/Leary/Marshall), and in 1988 at an outdoor concert at Penn's Landing in Philly, a quartet with John Hicks. Spectacular both times.

RIP. 97 is a great run. I'm only vaguely familiar with her work, but have been aware of her for decades. Married to John Dankworth for five decades.

If were a great group. Not sure when I discovered them, but it was after they had disbanded.

Also on this small-group messengers album, with Keith Jarrett (!) on piano, the mysterious Frank Mitchell on tenor, and Reggie Johnson on bass. Seems like there should be more tapes from this gig availalbe.

Which would make a great Mosaic set.

RIP, I love "Land of Make Believe" and am a big fan of his early 70's Mercury albums.

I have the Dolohy book by Simosko & Tepperman from the 70's, but it's also mostly analysis of his recordings. But that was of great benefit to me at that point in my journey, and it has an excellent annotated disvography.

A review posted on Amazon seems to confirm your fears.

R.I.P. The first three albums were musically enjoyable to me (along the lines of the first few Grand Funk Railroad albums), though some of the lyrics on the first album were troubling (though cartoonish, and "The Wizard" is really muddled). The second and third album were in a different light, with "After Forever" lyrically being outright gospel. The fourth album was so horrible I checked out at 18 and never bothered to pay attention again. But 'Paranoid' was a landmark and will always have a place on my shelves.

IIRC,Zaentz sued Fogerty for supposedly plagiarizing himself The Old Man Down The Road, from Run Through The Jungle) as Fantasy held the publishing on the old CCR songs Fogerty wrote. Fogerty successfully defended himself in court, playing music live in the courtroom and giving lessons on what constituted a musician's style, which would cross over individual compositions. Fogerty countersued for damages, and won - that case went to the supreme court. I still listen to CCR sometimes, but generally the longer deep cuts rather than the hits. His later albums were good, but his era had passed.

Surprisingly good!

Same here.

Obviously he didn't consult John Fogerty first. I guess it makes sense that he would go back to Fantasy, as Pablo hadn't started up yet.

Got one with a beat up box and book but CD's in great condition at a wonderful price:

R.I.P. Greatly enjoyed the fiery group he had with the Brecker Bros. in the late 70's.

Not sure. I bought it new back when it first came out.

Best current price I see - I highly recommend the set! https://www.ebay.com/itm/396790897113?_skw=gil+melle+complete+blue+note&itmmeta=01K0JD9S4R57MXCMWYD135MBCR&hash=item5c629499d9:g:xv8AAOSwTydoXW5g&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eO7%2BHXyrP1yJrbHnGE3VqgGPTpWcj0bw62EH5flpumO2%2FPFNf6Z0wkjrpBFHWWPx4luyMkSH%2BrDfDWIMWWmDoXlfx%2F1cdg2RJoBifn275nfadc9FNyuwR0WegZouGnEFEBwk8qK630%2BTtNUBmTck7R9nyZJP9GeMcn5QzACbjZTbwhOaAzJn6mygIbOc%2BXsv9iYjxIK7FYHE6SsMAaBrfIKRGwdWQiT3T27P5IGxIKvAogllGcYmHwSdeS1aP8l45PYxytqeYVY8jCHAzDqFmV|tkp%3ABk9SR76Sp82EZg
