Mick Softley was a legendary folk-rock singer/songwriter of the 1960s who developed a cult following. Born in 1939, he was raised in Essex, adjacent to Epping Forest, and came of age just as skiffle and rock & roll started sweeping across the British Isles. Softley was oriented a little more intellectually than most of the teenagers around him, however -- reading and writing, not listening to and playing music, were his pleasures. Writing also became his initial career goal, and his heroes (if that's what they were) tended more toward Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg than Elvis Presley or Bill Haley. (AllMusic) Interesting.
