"Today" was the last album by the San Francisco band It's A Beautiful Day, and it was released in 1973. Founding members David and Linda LaFlamme were no longer with the band, and the band at this point was composed of Pattie Santos, Bud Cockrell, Val Fuentes, Fred Webb, Bill Gregory, and Greg Bloch.
Bud Cockrell went on to be one of the founding members of Pablo Cruise, and after three albums, he quit the band and formed the band Cockrell and Santos with his loving wife Pattie.
It was on this day, December 14, 1989, that Pattie Santos died in a car wreck at the age of 40.
Bud passed away from complications of diabetes on March 6, 2010. He was only 59.
I was lucky enough to have them as neighbors and best friends for a couple of years in the late 70's!
Better people I've never known!
I still miss them!
Here's a choice video that shows how very talented they and the rest of the band really were!!
