Billy Powel best known as the keyboardist in the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has died of suspected heart failure at the age of 56. In 1985 Billy Powel formed the Christian rock band Vision. The band produced only one album and then broke up. I have the LP in mint condition...good stuff.

Sad news. Should we all crank up the live version of Freebird and strike our lighters in remembrance?

I didn't realize Powell was ever in a Christian rock band. 56 is must to early to shuffle off this mortal coil. Sure hope he was in the good Lord's grace.

As far as I know Vision's only release is out of print and the record company that distributed the LP doesn't exist anymore. Does anyone know if it is legal to give someone a copy of a release like this? I've looked in various locations over the net and couldn't find any online shop who sells the release in any form.
