I've always love that song as well.
Here's his funny video for "Stuck in the Middle With You".

"suffered from liver disease" is an interesting euphemism. He drank himself to death.

Yep - Billboard says he died after a long battle with alcoholism. All the other reports I read called it "a long illness"

Too bad. I always found his music (and especially his voice) very soothing.
