I don't know a great deal of his stuff, but the albums he made with King Crimson are wonderful. Red is arguably their masterpiece. Only 67.

Sad news, the "Number the Brave" album he did with Wishbone Ash is a corker.

Oh no - where's this from?  There's nothing on the beeb yet.

Noooo! Red is a magnificent album, a lot of that is down to JW's bass playing and vocals. Sad loss.

Sad news. For me his best stuff was with King Crimson, this is great...

John was also great in UK and Roxy Music .. he went on to work on a quite a few of Bryan Ferry's classic albums.

Sad news, I love his King Crimson stuff in particular. His singing on those albums is fabulous. I've never heard another voice like that. RIP John
