Short obituary from the Norwegian music blog on the day after Leven's death (14.11.2011, at 20:00 according to the text). Letrud calls him a tragically overlooked songwriter who was in Norway several times and had a loyal audience there; he himself came to Leven through Ian Rankin's Rebus novels. A brief career outline (Control as John St. Field, Doll by Doll, around 40 solo albums including fan-club releases), a reference to the obituary at The Arts Desk and an embedded video (“Empty in Soho Square”). No comments.

Summary in our own words; for the exact wording see the original.

Jackie Leven er en tragisk oversett låtskriver
