Definitely, but he died at 30. His father died at 28 having made 9 albums (all original material as far as I'm aware).

Sorry, I can't help. I just know the Live at Bataclan album, whose playlist is mainly Grace, plus "The Way Young Lovers Do". Is that track brilliant, or over-the-top indulgence? Please advise, because I have always been unable to decide:-

Hmm...I'm gonna have to go with the latter.
