Listening to Peter Gabriel 1, I am always touched by the closing song "Here Comes the Flood", but I much prefer the version of the same song by #PeterGabriel that came 2 years later on #RobertFripp 's 1st solo album "Exposure".

Simple, beautiful, haunting...

Very sorry for your loss. I only discovered Jack's music soon after the release of this album and was sad that I had not heard him until then. But there is so much back catalogue to go through and I have picked up several JR albums since. What a player!
