Autor von „Wild Thing“ - Chip Taylor gestorben  - Xenopolias

Der legendäre Songwriter Chip Taylor, Schöpfer von Welthits wie „Wild Thing“, ist im Alter von 86 Jahren verstorben. Ein Rückblick auf ein außergewöhnliches Leben zwischen Musik und Glücksspiel.

Xenopolias

Chip Taylor är alltså död. Så oerhört trist. Hans fru Joan gick bort i somras. Och hans senaste platta, som handlade just om hur han bearbetade den sorgen, kom ut alldeles nyligen.

Såg honom live tillsammans med Carrie Rodriguez i Växjö för ett antal år sedan. En fantastiskt fin konsert.

Och han skrev så oändligt många fler fina låtar än ”Wild Thing” och ”Angel of the morning”.
