One of my unsung musical heroes

He wrote tunes that became associated with a wide variety of artists, from Mitch Ryder to Jimmy Buffett.  But his own treatment of his creations was always something else again.



Actually, what inspired me to post this was some poking around in service of a Facebook your-favorie-music group.  I was not previously aware that he'd ever been the musical guest on SNL.



I saw Keith Sykes at a small club in his native Memphis in 1979, and he delivered like he's doing here.
