How does one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time drop-out of the public view and die in obscurity? It is a shame.

[CanzetYote]

Awesome song. Shame it's so underrated.

Unfortunately, heavy alcohol/drug consumption and diabetes don't mix very well, or Bud would probably be alive today. I know, I've seen him "party like a Rock star" many times in between set breaks when I knew him in Monterey. He was a great guy and never presented himself in a pretentious manner towards local musicians..

@NickPycks6 Well all I knew was I seen the same long-haired guitar player singing the song. I guess I got faces and names mixed up as I looked at the band members. Sorry! Sue me! LOL

[NickPycks6]

@tall32guy ..the lead vocalist singing A Place In The Sun is the LATE BUD COCKRELL not David Jenkins

[tall32guy]

@NickPycks6 David Jenkins is not dead. Not that I can see on the Net....lol

I first heard this not long ago on "An Unmarried Woman" with Jill Clayburgh, when she walks in on her daughter making out and chews her out. LOL I will confess that I thought that he was black when I first heard it! Amazing voice!

March or maybe April 1977, Pablo Cruise opened up for Mannfred Mann's Earth Band at the Paramount in Seattle. I was blown away..

This tune will always be, cruisin the Grand Strand, in Myrtle Beach, summer '77. I wish I were up on The Pavilion right now, looking down on Ocean Blvd, with this song blasting from a 100 different car radios.
