Nick Drake was an English folk singer known for his gentle, deadpan songs and his prodigal right-hand finger picking technique.
After hearing his albums (Five Leaves Left/Bryter Layter/Pink Moon/Family Tree), I have started holding him in very high esteem.
Drake suffered from depression and this reflects in his songs. He is said to have”disappeared” from public life (both live performance and recording) and retreated to his parents' rural home. He was not much keen to be interviewed or to perform live.
Nick Drake was born in Rangoon, Burma, June 19, 1948 and died in, England, November 25, 1974)
He took an overdose and died at the age of 26. No one knew whether it was an accident or suicide.
