Fred Sonic Smith passed on twenty years ago today, effectively marking the end of a historic era. An extraordinarily talented and almost criminally underrated guitarist and songwriter, Fred epitomized everything that was great about high energy Detroit music. Heres a video, some familiar faces performing one of his better known songs, and some words from his wife. Dream of Life was really more Fred’s record: it was all of Fred’s music, Fred’s philosophy, People Have The Power, Fred’s concept, the titles of a lot of the songs… even though I wrote the lyrics, a lot of the titles and the concepts of the songs were Fred’s… so it was really Fred’s gift to me…He really crafted that record for me. - Patti Smith from an interview by Michael Goldberg and Jaan Uhelszki, Addicted to Noise, June 1996
