Indeed, there’s “No Doubt About It” that we’re just “Going Through the Motions” on this thread but there’s no need to say “I’m Sorry”, jambalaya.

Errol had a good innings and made some wonderful music to which no doubt millions of children were conceived.

Top fella RIP

@thegreatape 😳 I did a search on his name, WCA is too cryptic for me !

I know – I only opened that thread because I thought it was going to be about actual chocolate.

Sad. I wonder how many blokes managed to get some with help from his most famous effort?
Truly a gift to mankind.

I’m sure he’d be happy with the sample. CHOOOOOOON!!

RIP fella!

Great band, sadly a sexy thing no longer.

Sad 71 is no age these days, always seemed like a nice bloke.
