Herbert, as I like to think of him, was certainly a one off, wasn't he? I think he is delightful and it took 2 hours of listening to other things to get "Livin' in the Sunlight" out of my head! Such a marvellous performer, bringing an innocent kind of happiness with his art.

My mum just told me she'd never heard of him, which is strange. I was rather alarmed to see a photo of him in his coffin with the ukulele whilst we looked for a photo from the internet, he could have been sleeping though.

Are there any other highlights from him I should seek out? I heard his interpretation of 'People Are Strange', but that seemed rather sad, somehow.
