I'm a huge fan of film star Ava Gardner and have a collection of all of her films, and other memorabilia. While on tour in North Carolina, her home state, they routed their course so I could visit the Ava Gardner Museum! #avagardner #avagardnerfilmqueen

#throwbacktuesday Roberta Flack's lovely version of the Jimmy Webb penned "Do What You Gotta Do"... a bit slower than Nina Simone and without a doubt a most gorgeous rendition. This is a live version at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1971. youtube.com/watch?v=Weo9vI… #robertaflack

Recognition is often given to Carol Kaye in my shows for her contribution to Wichita Lineman & also for her work on You've Lost that Loving Feeling. I'm so into that bass line that I perform it on the piano for audiences & have them sing along to the song faroutmagazine.co.uk/carol-kaye-fiv…

#RobertaFlack's renditions of my songs were unique and deeply soulful works of art in slower tempos than usual for Top 40 radio - w/courageous originality. I'm deeply grateful to her stamp of approval on my submissions. I'll miss her. I wish her godspeed youtube.com/watch?v=Weo9vI…

Carol Kaye, bassist extraordinaire, is declining her induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She did the opening notes to Wichita Lineman and played on more hits than you can count. tinyurl.com/yets8hat #carolkaye #rockhalloffame
