Tonight’s mystery artist passed away from an unforeseen complication following a routine procedure in 2013. Biography describes him as managing to stay true to himself to the very end.  Think you know who this was or the song he is known best for??

This is the biography account of Alvin Lee of the band Ten Years After, of who they said:

"Throughout it all, Alvin Lee managed to stay true to himself, making the music he wanted without outside influence or expectations".

In 2012 Lee had released a new CD "Still On the Road to Freedom" which was said to take its listener on musical journey to the past and present and back again, enthralling us with his talent and music and proving without a doubt that he was able to deliver the goods while doing it his way.

On March 6, 2013, Alvin Lee passed away from unforeseen complications following a routine surgical procedure for atrial arrhythmia.  And like so many of our fallen Rock and Roll family although he has left us, his music will live on.
