Colin Cooper, lead singer and sax player for the Climax Blues Band, died Thursday (July 3) at his home in Stafford, England after a battle with cancer. He was 68. Colin was an original member of the band when it was set up in 1968 as the Climax Chicago Blues Band. The group released eighteen albums over the next forty years. In America, they were known for two big hits four years apart-- "Couldn't Get It Right" (#3-1977) and "I Love You" (#12-1981).
Don't care if I ever hear the second song again, but the first is one of my all-time '70s favorites -- and a lot of fun to play on the radio.
