That’s not entirely accurate... At the time he crashed, the weather was atrocious, he was travelling at 104mph on the motorway to get to his girlfriend’s house because her husband was acting crazy. A rear tyre was found to have had a slow puncture which likely collapsed the tyre causing him to lose control in the wet. His girlfriend had called him while he was driving to ask where he was, the last words he said were that he was close and then “oh shit” followed by a ‘loud bang’. Even if he had not been on the phone, the accident was still likely to have happened and given his state of mind for his girlfriend, it was unlikely he would have been able to avoid the crash.
On the mobile to his girlfriend, who wanted to know where he was as she was having trouble with her ex..thats why Cozy was going 125mph. His last words to her were "I'm on my way...oh shit! " then the line went silent. RIP Legend
‘Powell died on 5 April 1998 following a car crash while driving his Saab 9000 at 104 mph (167 km/h) in bad weather on the M4 motorway near Bristol. Powell was ejected through the windscreen and died at the scene. According to the BBC report, at the time of the crash Powell's blood-alcohol reading was over the legal limit, and he was not wearing a seat belt, in addition to talking with his girlfriend on his mobile phone. As he was driving to her house, she phoned him again and asked "Where are you?" He informed her he was on his way and she then heard him say "Oh s***!" followed by a loud bang. The official investigation also found evidence of a slow puncture in a rear tyre that, it was suggested, could well have caused a sudden collapse of the tyre with a consequent loss of control of the car.’ Where on earth did you get your facts from? The fastest Saab 9000 is the 3.0L V6 and it has a top speed of 142mph, so 200mph is highly unlikely.
We played this song literally 100s of times on the juke-box while on holiday in Mallorca, 1974😅
Top-Hit by "Radio Atlantis" 1974 (Offshore-Radio-Station)

Love this headbanging classic. Shame Cozy died too young. He crashed his car while talking on a mobile phone.

Schalke 04 fans brought me here
Who is the singer?
toir77 The vocalist is Frank Aiello.
@@Bricray My Nans cousin
@@jessicarich1589 A very underrated vocalist IMO. He should be more well known.
Cozy died driving a sports car the wrong way down a motorway at 200 mph in the middle of the night.
Out like a man.
