Sad news about Stevie.

I was reading about the Easybeats  recently. When they broke up during their last European tour, they had no money and had to scrounge to raise enough for the fare home to Australia.  Stevie went on to have a big hit with Evie (see below) but he blew everything on drugs.  He was a talented performer and songwriter but he could not break his habit. It broke him in the end.

Never knew this was his tune. I seem to remember Pat Travers doing a version.
