I have to acknowledge the passing of Chicago's Terry Callier, who died on Sunday at the age of 67. He hit his early peak in 1973 with the song, "Dancing Girls. He then fell into obscurity, until the 90s when Massive Attack, Paul Weller and Beth Orton tapped into his mellow voice.
With Orton, they sang together the classic "Lean On Me" for her Best Bits EP:
With Paul Weller, they sang "Brother to Brother":
My favorite, Callier lent his vocals to their added single, "Live With Me" from their greatest hits compilation:
