February 15, 2022 at 10:43 amI just discovered about Carl’s passing. I’m so sorry for his family. I never met Carl but talked to him on the telephone for 40 minutes during an interview I did with him in 1978 for my radio show. Before I found out about his death, I decided to air the interview again and revise it for a show I’m doing on April 24th, 2022. If you are interested in for more information about the time and stations. Please contact me. The show will be featuring all his hits.
