On this Tuesday morning (20/11) at 11:30am on BBC 4... I figured this was on-topic for Roy fans! Laura Barton reveals a lost gem of British folk music and tells the poignant story of its creator, Jackson C Frank. With insurance money from a childhood accident Jackson C Frank migrated from New York to London in the mid-'60s, where his first album was produced by another ascendant young songwriter called Paul Simon. It was warmly received and Frank is spoken of as an influence on a generation of British folk performers. And then, it seems, he disappeared from view. Little was heard from Jackson C Frank for decades. Laura Barton speaks to some of those who knew him to find out about the lost years and the tragedy of the life of Jackson C Frank. Featuring Jackson C Frank's friends Al Stewart, John Renbourn, Jim Abbott and John Kay. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nxh4s
