TimmyB Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Very sad news. May you rest in peace Jim Capaldi. Traffic was an amazing group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Sad. Jim was an underrated songwriter too. Dave Mason and Winwood got the glory, but Capaldi was the heart of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Jeeze, this is sad news ... among his other credits, this was the man who wrote "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone", a frickin' great song. Vaya con dios, Jim. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Yes, terrible news. I was hoping we'd see Traffic reunite again. It's often forgotten that Jim was the co-writer on most of the Traffic hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
