Sorry didn't mean to instigate the "hijack" the cup thread, but I so love this man's music.
I bought several copies of "The Wind" and gave them to friends. As you say he was dark....but I kinda like dark

but the courage and meaning and lust for life that he put into that last album is simply incredible. There was a documentary on it that I saw somewhere about the making of that album....I'll have to try and find it.
For now here a couple of links.
