Just came here to post this.

He was a one album legend, and there were always rumours of him possibly cutting another. At one point he was back in Wyoming, working as a cowhand. Any sighting of him was a big deal.

"Sun Goddess" is a superb collaboration with Ramsey Lewis and Earth, Wind & Fire. IMO, a seriously underrated track in the EWF catalog:
