“My condolences to all… Came across this late & wanted to share. Met Howard thru ex-partner Jimmy in later 70’s. Howard painted a large graphic on Jimmy’s living room wall. Invited to dinner @ his apt (after hearing I enjoyed his Flamingo music) on Upper West Side; remember he made his favorite dessert -chocolate pudding cake. Visited w him @ the Copa in the 90’s. A NYC transplant that adapted well to FL living. Played the best in club music for decades…”
