Biography by Steve Huey

Josh Clayton-Felt embarked on a solo career after the breakup of his former band, School of Fish, learning to play keyboards, bass, and drums in addition to guitar. He recorded over 25 songs in the following years, playing all the instruments, and his solo debut, Inarticulate Nature Boy, was released by A&M in 1996. He toured colleges with Tori Amos in support of the album and achieved a place among college radio. While a lo-fi record in every respect, the record reflected Clayton-Felt’s love for ’70s AM radio fare and traditional pop songs. Crafting a second record, Center of Six, followed shortly thereafter. A&M dropped him prior to issuing the album, however Clayton-Felt was determined to release the album. He and sessions drummer Steve Scully worked together during the late 90s, but Clayton-Felt fell ill with testicular cancer in December 1999.

After less than a month in the hospital, the singer died January 19, 2000 at the age of 32. Two years later, Dreamworks collected material from those unforgotten Center of Six sessions and issued Spirit Touches Ground.

    当我第一次听到他的专辑就被他声音和旋律迷住了，我开始搜集他所有的音乐和了解他，后来 我得知他早已不再人世之后，我感到非常惋惜，和难过。 我一定要让更多的人们去听你的音乐，感受你的音乐。 你的歌声会永远陪伴着我门......

    THIS MAN WAS A MUSICIAN'S MUSICIAN. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HIS WORK. BUT MORE AND MORE DO I LOVE IT WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE A SONG OF HIS WILL POP INTO MY HEAD, ENCOURAGING ME TO PULL OUT NOT ONE BUT ALL OF HIS C.D'S (INLUDING SCHOOL OF FISH) AGAIN, AND EVERYTIME I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS MUSIC ALL OVER AGAIN. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE SYNCRONISTIC EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURED FROM ME SINGING THE SONGS FROM MEMORY, OR LISTENING TO THE ALBUMS AGAIN. THIS WAS AND IS ONE TRULY CREATIVE SOUL, AND HE LIVES ON IN HIS MUSIC AND IN THE AIR. HE IS STILL TEACHING FROM THE OTHER SIDE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!;>
