David Johansen has passed away

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.

And yes, Edgar Winters had a song by the same title ...

Much different songs.  Edgar's was an instrumental.

I was today years old when I learned that Buster Poindexter and David Johansen were one and the same person.

RIP 

I booked Buster Poindexter at Roxy, Boston in '89... put on an amazing show with full orchestra. Stayed really late and partied with the staff after-hours; a very cool guy indeed.
