Tim Hardin
Although he died more than 40 years ago, there is continuing interest in Tim and his songs.
His Wikipedia entry provides a good overview of his life and work.
I also recommend this fan site, which contains interesting articles and many useful links.
For performances by Tim of some of his own songs - together with numerous cover versions - YouTube is the place to go.
And "NO", Rod Stewart didn't write "Reason to Believe".
If you have a fast Internet connection and you would rather not play this track using YouTube, just click the still above.
