It just so happens that I find myself in Mr. Fowles
camp regarding this subject. I just heard his name this past week and visited his website to see what all the buzz was about.
There's a lot of info (videos, etc) that seem to provide an insight into his character. His humility at the time appeared to be in tact. I believe he wrote the song
"Home", but his covers do nothing for me. For example, I'll take The Drifters version of "Save the last Dance for Me", or Van Morrison's original "Moondance" anyday. Perhaps he's great in concert, I don't (and will never) know. I do admire his respect for the older standards, but I still don't get it.
