RIP Freddie Hubbard & Delaney Bramlett (Bonnie & Delaney) from billboard:
Rock guitarist Delaney Bramlett, who collaborated with such artists as George Harrison and Eric Clapton, died in a Los Angeles hospital following gallbladder surgery. He was 69. His wife, Susan Lanier-Bramlett, said he died on Saturday after "seven hard months" of ill health. "I held him and he held on up until the last breath with which he went in peace to the light and on into eternity," she said in a statement. The Mississippi native first gained renown in the late 1960s as part of the southern-fried rhythm and blues combo Delaney & Bonnie, which he formed with his first wife, Bonnie Lynn. The gifted duo was often overshadowed by its "Friends," as their backing group was known. Among them was Clapton, who regularly performed as a low-key sideman. Bramlett, in turn, produced Clapton's self-titled debut solo album in 1970, and co-wrote most of the songs, including the gospel-tinged hit single "Let It Rain." Clapton brought Delaney & Bonnie to England, and recruited such musicians as Harrison and Dave Mason to perform at their shows. According to Bramlett's biography, he taught Harrison how to play slide guitar and to write a gospel song, which led to the recording of the former Beatle's hit single "My Sweet Lord." Delaney & Bonnie enjoyed a few hits of their own, including the 1971 tune "Never Ending Song of Love," but their popularity faded after Clapton moved on. The couple divorced after releasing their last album together, 1972's "Together." 
Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, who played with legends such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner, Art Blakey and Herbie Hancock, died today (Dec. 29) in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Hubbard, who had suffered a heart attack on Nov. 26, was 70. Born in Indianapolis, the artist moved to New York in 1958 and quickly began playing and recording with Coleman, Coltrane and Eric Dolphy. In 1961, he released "Ready for Freddie," the first of many collaborations with saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Hubbard's "hard bop" stylings can be heard on some of the landmark free jazz albums of the 1960s, including Coleman's "Free Jazz" and Coltrane's "Ascension." In the 1970s, he recorded more commercial-leaning albums for CTI Records, and maintained an active presence in the studio and onstage throughout the 1980s. Hubbard was bestowed with the National Endowment for the Arts' Jazz Masters Award in 2006. According to a spokesperson, a New York memorial is being planned. | |

This should be a sticky. I don't know much about Bramlett, but Freddie Hubbard is a legend. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I actually added recently a few albums of Freddie on my iTunes library, and have been playing them frequently. Great atmosphere in them tracks. | |
