March 6th. Wife and daughters posted on Lee’s website:
"With great sadness we have to announce that Alvin unexpectedly passed away early this morning after unforseen complications following a routine surgical procedure. We have lost a wonderful much-loved father and companion, the world has lost a truly great and gifted musician. Jasmin, Evi and Suzanne."
This is Alvin's version of 'Spoonful' from French TV "Bouton Rouge" January 21 1968 and below that an interview with him from 1988.
Many people will miss that 60's gunslinger. He was due to be on the same bill as Johnny Winter on April 6th.
A sad loss indeed.
