I remember him solely for a tune called senga abele which was on a hip hop /jazz fusion album from the early 90s called rebirth of cool too, one of my favourites from that era.

Big Blow was one of the 1st 12"s I bought.

Opened up a whole new world of music to me back in the day.

Caught a couple of tracks on the radio this week - amazing and uplifting stuff. RIP.
