I like a lot of his work.

I think that makes Bailey the only one left of the 60's London crew. What times they must have been, as the obituary mentions, without managers, PRs etc getting in the way. Perhaps that's why so many images of the famous seem to be more personal & revealing then, than they are now - just the sitter, the photographer and perhaps a camera assistant. Shot in B&W, often on a TLR. Perfect!

Yep, and no 20 page legal contractual binding agreements to get in the way of great pictures.

Always sad to see these greats pass on.  It goes a long way reminding us of our own mortality.
