ROBERT WYATT (B-SIDE by DISHARI with JERRY DAMMERS) |
|||
|
Wyatt was drummer of Soft Machine in the 60s and leader of Matching Mole in the early 70s, before lower-body paralysis after a serious fall put him in a wheelchair. This failed to dent his artistic endeavour, and he developed as an articulate and often impassioned songwriter and interpretive singer in the 80s. |
