#1 Take five. Yes, saw him once performing next door to the academy in Annapolis. Reminds me of Leon Redbone who also liked to perform in small locations(venues).

#2 I had to look him up, my first reaction was "who?".

Seems he's some composter etc.

From Wikipedia:

Songs that he co-wrote which have topped the Billboard Hot 100 include "This Guy's in Love with You" (1968), "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" (1969), "(They Long to Be) Close to You" (1970), "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" (1981), and "That's What Friends Are For" (1986).

RIP man!
