Happy Late Birthday To The Late Fred Neil

Fred Neil

Scouting through Spotify, I was looking for how many versions there are of The Dolphins. Tim Buckley did a great rendition of it as did Richie Havens, among others. But the original voice of this brilliant song is of Fred Neil. He wrote it and you’ll find it on the The Many Sides of Fred Neil album. He was indeed a Dolphin lover and became involved in The Dolphin Project – helping in the struggle to stop Dolphins being caught in Tuna nets.

Born on 16th March 1936 in Cleveland Ohio, he died 2001. A few days shy of his Birthday – this is for him.
