Surprised nobody’s mentioned him yet. The Devil Went Down to Georgia chap.

I hadn't seen that. Quite a successful artist in the USA although Devil is probably all most of us know him for; I've seen The Levellers a couple of times and their cover of it was always a hilight.     
83 - the point at which I might have said 'fair innings' although as I get older I'm correcting that figure upwards.

@EricTheWeary ;Funny how your attitude to age changes isn’t it? I can remember thinking about old workmates  “silly old bastards, making all this fuss about having to retire at 60. 60 is well past it.” Now I’m 65, I see why they thought they were being put out to pasture way too early. My mum is forever talking about “old people“ too, as though it doesn’t apply to her. She’s nearly 95.

I must admit I only know him via 'The Devil went down to Georgia' - But a great song nevertheless - Maybe I should check out other tracks - RIP

RIP Charlie.  I remember "The Devil went down to Georgia" being pretty massive when it came out.  I'd like to think he'd approve of this version:
