This is sad news. An extremely talented vocalist and musician. Jeff had a couple of major label deals,one with the group "Chance" and the other as a solo. Wonderful recordings BTW.

Yes — strong vocalist. My first exposure to him was [with his status] as a major label (Mercury) artist. It was a surprise to find him working as a sideman for various Texas outfits.

I want to apologize for not attending Jeff's funeral service today. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to get there. Jody.
