Ray, its been a long time since 1964 when you covered our UK recording of Shes a Mod by The Senators. rest In peace, glad to have been a part of the music history on your side of our world. Thanks again, Bill Ford (bass guitar and vocals The Senators 1964)
I worked at Warkworth New World back in 2002/3 and talked to him many a time. As a musician, I always talked to him about his music and my own compositions. I thought he was a really kind guy for having those conversations with me. Today, 18 years later, I look back and think to myself, "Damn he was a patient guy putting up with me boring him shitless with my dreams yet making me feel important."
Aw met husband when ray columbus was singin till we kissed on record at Tom Sharplins nightclub in auckland 1982. The club had a cadillaç hanging out of the ceiling couldnt see a thing but we didnt care waz awesum
Much thanks to whoever did this interview, this is New Zealand history, first hand.
A great entertainer gone, from a fast fading era, so sad
Thank you, yes my husband and I did this interview - we made a film about Chants R and B. Yes what a musician Ray is, he will always be remembered
