I don't know how influential he was, but he certainly can write a song and play
guitar. For the record, "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight" was Richard and
Linda's first album together. I got import copy back in 1974. It remains one of
their best, although "Pour Down Like Silver" ain't too shabby.
