@caz4777 i remember him singing that day , i'm thinking what a voice , he was introduced as Jeffrey St John , took me a while to work out who it was

@ljfoto55 Well said :)

I can remember seeing Jeff St. John and the Copperwine in the 70's and seeing the Stones in concert around the same time. The Stones were the best concert I ever saw, but Jeff St. John was right up there with them and he could roll that wheelchair around the stage and do wheel stands and be every bit as entertaining as Jagger could move ! Awesome guy !

What a classic song that didnt achieve world wide recognition as it should have. The song title is made more poignant because the singer cannot walk.  Wow he looks like Freddy mercury...
