Climax Blues Band's Colin Cooper

Remember FM LIVE?
Sad to say I just read that sax man/singer Colin Cooper passed away recently from cancer. He was 68.

I was fortunate to meet with these guys when I was first starting out on the road, they dropped into a god awful club we were playing in Rock Island IL. At this time they had a top 40 hit 'Couldn't Get It Right' which was sung by Colin.

They were all very kind to us, sat in for a while and got us backstage to their show the following night in Davenport across the river. I also got to see their opening act, UFO! The whole bunch of us went out for pizza afterward. A fond memory for me, and I thought I would pass this news on. Players like Colin so often just fade away when they should be remembered. I remember.
