I had the solid honor of writing about Zimmerman when he dropped his last album, Dance of Love , in 2024.
Why This Matters
He was a kind, patient man who graciously spoke about his life in music. During our conversation, Marie-Claire (who Zimmerman lovingly called “Bear”) would roam in the background, pulling books off shelves or tidying up their “cubby hole. ” She sang on “Leave It On the Porch Outside,” a stroke of normalcy for her and Zimmerman.
This is exactly the kind of news that gets fans excited or concerned.
