You just beat me to it.

Yes indeed. Jimmy Ruffin had a voice that stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard "What becomes of the broken hearted?". Rest easy, Jimmy.

I'll let you know.
 I go there twice a day to drop the daughter off and pick her up
the day it happened she was working late so her husband picked her up, the traffic was in chaos, it happened on the A6 which is a hellishly busy road at all times

I've just this minute heard that sad news too.  C.O.B. was his greatest triumph in my opinion.

Very sad to hear about Clive... A day of C.O.B. (and the debut ISB album) is in order.

Sorry, what's C.O.B.? I was a devotee in the 60s, but am I being thick?

Clive's Original Band of 'Spirit of Love' and 'Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart.'  Smiley I'm listening to 'Spirit of Love' for the first time in ages and it is EXCELLENT.

Ah! Thank you! Not sure I'm ready to revisit... was dreadfully disappointed when I saw ISB in the 90s(?), but may give it go.

Last saw him in Glastonbury in late 2010. He was looking very frail then.

I've been a fan since first seeing the ISB in 1967 and love their music, though I admit that at times the quality was hit and miss when you saw them live.

I've been lucky enough to see Clive Palmer, Mike Heron and Robin Williamson individually live in recent years and always hoped for a reunion, though this was always a pipe dream as they all said a resounding 'No' to the very idea. No chance at all now  Sad

 :'(I'm gutted about Clive. I'm a great ISB follower, as may be evident from my posts, and have always admired Clive as much as any other member. Everything he's been involved in has been of worth . i wasreading gRaeme Hood's book not very long ago. Oh God and i was just reflecting on Robin's age recently too - he looked noticeably older when  i saw him a nd briefly spoke to him this year.  Sad

coB were much earlier than the 90s ISB. I saw the reformed ISB too and agree they were rather ramshackle.

I don't think they were anywhere near as awful as many on here seem to think...but I do tend to think that Clive's banjo-led contributions were some of the high points.  The 2 COB albums are '71-'72.
