David Blue
More famous for the company he kept than the songs he sang, David Blue nonetheless recorded several attention-worthy albums in his own right. Blue--born Stuart David Cohen--came to Greenwich Village in the early '60s to become an actor. Swept up in the folk scene, he entered Bob Dylan's inner circle--later claiming (in his role as the pinball-playing narrator of the Rolling Thunder Revue film RENALDO AND CLARA) to have witnessed Dylan compose "Blowin' In the Wind." As a songwriter and performer, Blue fused a wounded sensuality with a Dylanesque lyricism and sang--sometimes uncannily--like the archly expressive Dylan of HIGHWAY 61 REVISTED. Later '70s albums found Blue asserting his own voice more resolutely though a commercial breakthrough continually eluded him. He died of a heart attack jogging in Greenwich Village in 1982 at 41.
