Musician Eric Woolfson dies aged 64

Songwriter and musician Eric Woolfson, one of the key figures behind The Alan Parsons Project, has died aged 64.

He recorded a string of albums with his collaborator, record producer Alan Parsons, and wrote his own musicals and songs for other artists.

The musician had been suffering from cancer and died in London on Tuesday.

His friend Deborah Owen said: “Eric was very much a self-made man. He couldn’t read music but if you asked him to play anything he could do it straight away.”  FULL STORY

“He had an extraordinary gift,” she added.
