He's wonderful. So many of his songs reflect much of what I went through coming out. After a great deal of searching, have gotten "Caravan Tonight" safely into Itunes. If anyone needs it on disc let me know.

Please tell me anything you care to share about Steven. I came out in 1975, was given his album by a friend I'll always remember, and he was my coming out "guide." Why, if he had a five album contract, did he not fullfill this? I have the treasured album and will copy it for anyone who asks. This needs to live on, and its not available.

Sadly Steven passed on from AIDS at the age of 40. he always said he would not live beyond 40. Many of his beloved friends were with him at the end of his life. He ended his days in San Fransisco and his ashes were scattered to the wind. He was a very special person.

I had a vinyl of his songs a long time ago. Nobody knew who he was when I lived in Brooklyn (1981-1988), but I loved the songs on the album. They helped me when I was struggling with my sexuality and showed me that we mattered as much as the straights and our love was just as genuine. I remember thinking that the picture on the album made him look like Jesus Christ; it was odd that I, an atheist, would "follow Jesus". But his songs were beautiful and significant. Whatever happened to him?

Thanks to both posters for their touching tributes. Regrettably I do not own a copy of the album, this track is the only one I have, and was sent to me by a friend a couple of years ago.I'm so glad that this video has found a way of allowing this song to touch peoples souls, maybe for the first time, or re-kindling old associations.

When his album was released, I saw Steve,live in Buffalo, NY at the Gay Community Center. I owned the album, but gave it to a man I loved. He died, but I have no idea what happened to the album. I'd be very willing to pay someone for a tape or cd of the album. I remember being so inspired by his lyrics when I was young. His voice was beautiful and he was so very handsome! if you are willing to make a copy of the album for me, I'd pay. |
