Jim Capaldi, founder member of psychedelic rock group Traffic, has died, it was announced earlier today. The award-winning songwriter and performer had been suffering from cancer of the stomach. He was 60. Born Nicola James Capaldi on August 2 1944 in Evesham, Worcestershire, his career in the music business spanned over four decades. During that time he wrote the lyrics to some of rock's most memorable songs and was part of one of the biggest rock bands of the 20th century.
With fellow Birmingham musician and Traffic co-founder Steve Winwood, singer/drummer Capaldi was responsible for writing many of the group's major hits, fuelling a multi-platinum 10-album career for the band. In March 2004, the group's legendary status was acknowledged with their induction into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Capaldi played at the recent tribute concert for George Harrison and was to have been reunited with Steve Winwood late last year for a reunion tour by Traffic and a DVD release of their 1994 reunion tour.
Zwar war sein letztes Album nicht der Rede wert, aber in den Sechzigern gehörte er tatsächlich zu den Guten.

schade - rip.
Oliver - Traffic hat die meisten Alben in den 70ern rausgebracht. Danach Anfang der 80er gab's auch noch 2 gute Solo-Alben von Capaldi ...

Mason ist ein Muffelkopp. Capaldi war Winwood's kongenialer Partner. Deswegen wäre eine Traffic-Reunion auch unglaubwürdig.

Wieso? Winwood + Clapton Live ist doch 'ne gute Platte.
