In Memory...
Here's the place to talk about our departed loved ones -- friends, family members, tour buddies, and others we've lost along the way.
R.I.P. Don Cornelius - September 27, 1936 – February 1, 2012
creator of Soul Train, in what appears to be a suicide.
those programs had some wonderful, classic performances.
“You can bet your last money, it's all gonna be a stone gas, honey! I'm Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul."
D.C.
Tell them to keep his love and to
let it heal them in times of sorrow.
You can't keep the body but you
can keep the love.
I have tons of it, I know this is true.
Love to You and ALL of Them, XO.

Here's an opportunity for Blues fans to petition the Grammy Organization to create a stand-alone "Blues Music" category.

Thank you :)
passed away after an ongoing battle with leukemia, sad to say. Now personally, I do not think "At Last" can be beat, and it was actually made into one of the most beautiful car commercials ever produced (which I say with no trace of irony, art and beauty are art and beauty).
However, thanks to Barry Howarth, we have this, which many of us actually witnessed, and remember fondly...
