Il 3 marzo di quest'anno è venuto a mancare Norman "Hurricane" Smith, tecnico del suono, produttore discografico e musicista, celebre per aver collaborato con gruppi come Beatles e Pink Floyd. Nel 1972 ebbe un notevole successo con la canzone Oh Babe, What Would You Say?
@justphil101 I agree, I don't feel he has had the recognition he deserves

God, I love his production on his solo stuff. I love his productions for others too, but on his own stuff it was very uniquely his own. Who else has that sound really? I guess he was kinda the precursor to Alan Parsons Project, other than him that was not a very normal thing back then.

It is nice to discover that Hurricane Smith has more songs other than "O Babe What Can You Say:", a song which always makes me feel happy when I listen to it. ..also love that saxophone solo at the end !.
I had never seen either a photo or a video of such a cool artist .

I never knew what he looked like. But I always pictured him as the man on the moon with Oh Babe.
