I loved his songs and his voice, I even strummed along to his songs, when I was a lovesick teenager!!! there will never be another.

Wow he got old fast, but you figure when he had that hit song in the `70`s he was already 49. That`s so true though what he says about the Beatles. My Mum grew up around Liverpool, Manchester primarily, and she said her first thought when she saw the Beatles was that they were a joke, a comedy act, not a real band because everything about them was so over the top. And you know they said the same thing about the Ramones and even Elvis. There`s always a hint of humor underlying all great art.

And if they did, What Would you Say?(LOL!)

I just finished his boook as well...and it's signed too. I was looking forward to hearing him speak at Chicago's Beatle convention a couple years back...and was sad to learn of his illness and eventual passing. It was such an interesting read...and he was not afraid to say what he really felt! RIP Normal!

he's what pre war called one of your own. wonderfull bloke.

I just heard about his passing, heartbreaking. They need to release his early 70s stuff on CD, that whole original LP was fantastic.

RIP Norman. You where a great unsung hero. George Martin and Geoff Emerick deserved all the good attention they ever got regarding the Beatles. But you where one of them too! You are maybe the single most influentual and most listened too sound engineer in recorded history. And you have just passed away. I'm so sad!

Thanks to Seth for interviewing Norman. I just wish people would spend more time dissecting his career as a recording artist because his self-named '72 album was one of the best pop albums I've ever heard in my life. I tried to get record companies to do a compilation of his work, to no success. Really wanted to interview him before he passed on, and now, it's too late. Some real melodic, sentimental gems on that LP and subsequent singles. Goodbye, Hurricane, and thanks for the music.
