Lou Wilson Of Mandrill Dies At 71 Fans are mourning the death of Lou Wilson of Mandrill, the afro-funk band who passed away from cardiac arrest. He was 71.
Details of a planned memorial celebration will be announced shortly. Below is a message to the public from Lou’s brothers and fellow band members:
The centerpiece of our music and our lives, eldest brother LOUIS WILSON, affectionately known as “Sweet Lou,” made his transition on Monday morning, January 7, 2013 in Southern California. On behalf of the Wilson Family and Mandrill, we ask that you please light a candle, hum a song, play a drum or say a prayer in remembrance of him. Lou would like that. . . We will keep you posted on plans for a musical tribute in the near future and other information.
Best regards,

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I got the chance to see them live around 01, I don't remember if it was the original group but the brothers were there, it was a great show. Thank you kind soul, be at peace and thank you for your gifts. Peace & Love.
