There was a thread about this a couple of weeks back. A real shame, half the Power Station died in the same year.

Thanks. I just went back and found it. Can't believe I missed that one. I used to go looking for ANYTHING about him - like - 3 months ago - trying to find out who he's playing with now... The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Last person I heard he was playing with was Bowie.

It could have never been the same after bass behemoth
Bernard Edwards passed years ago. Now Tony is gone, and 2/3 of the band's core members. I love Chic. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
