David Johansen has passed away

Saw where he was ill a few weeks ago and the pic look like he was on his way out. Always kept the NYD/David Johansen in rotation but truth is I am going to miss ole Poindexter. Enjoy the music

I saw the NY Dolls as an opening act for The Edgar Winters Group.  They were fantastic. 

Blown away by the 1st NY Dolls album when it came out.  'Frankenstein' and "Personality Crisis" were the best.  The number of buddies I dragged to the AV room in my high school to listen to that album.  

It was years later when I saw David performing "Funky But Chic" on the Uncle Floyd Show.  And of course, the Stereophile interview from 25 years ago.

@rar1,

”Frankenstein” was an Edgar Winters Group song.

Hi -

Last song, side 1, of the NY Dolls' 1st album.  In my memory to this day from several hundred listens during my high school years.

Much different songs.  Edgar's was an instrumental.
