rip to this talented brother

RIP Thanks for the music. Seems like there's more RIP threads than birhday threads these days...

RIP Junie

Rest in peace, servant of the Funk.

Sad for sure, and too young once again. He was a super talented original. A mad genius of sorts. Think how young he was in the early 1970s doing his Ohio Players thang. One of his mostly unknown gems among my faves is this one ...

What happened? What was the cause of death?

What I found didn't say. Apparently he died Jan 21 but his family just announced it on facebook today?!?

He's been dead nearly a month?! It's strange that the family waited so long to make an announcement.

RIP

I've been really digging some of his tracks lately. This one's been played a lot.

My friend Ramon once brought this vinyl to my house and said you gotta HEAR this one. Its a JAM. Rest in Peace!

Damn. A super talented musician..still too young to have left us. RIP

Thank you for this, very cool. He did not really address what happened with him when the Ohio Players went on to superstardom with Mercury Records in 1974.
