American folk-soul singer-songwriter from Chicago (1945-2012). What Color Is Love (1972), Occasional Rain (1972). Blend of folk, soul, and jazz — acoustic guitar with orchestral soul arrangements. Rediscovered in the 1990s by the UK acid jazz scene. 'Ordinary Joe.' Criminally underappreciated genius.
