Hipsters, Does anybody know the late Doctor's story? I've read his sleeve notes and numerous credits but information on this and other sites is scant - what role did he play in the formation of Roxy and in BF's solo career and what became of him? Regards, Windswept |

He's also featured heavily in Michael Bracewell's book Re-make/Re-model |

Thanks but not a lot in either of these epistles. Who was he? Were and when was he born? When & were did he meet the band? Did he have a strong influence over the music? Why no obituary? Did he write a biography of Ferry under a pseudonym? A friend of mine met him a couple of times at EMI and said he was a great guy, a bit of a hedonist but with a huge sense of humour and was really the power behind the throne. Anybody know anything? Regards, Windswept. |

Oh yeah he did - read that one, thought it was the most informative on the personal stuff about BF. He held Puxley in high esteem apparently and was devastated when he passed away. |

Major influence on ferry's lyric writing. Some say he edited, influenced, even co wrote...and that pearl had his influence all over it. |

Evidently he was a huge influence and a lot of fun. Shame we don't know more about him - can anybody out there elaborate? Regards, Windswept. |
