He would be sorely missed.

 

No question a great funk group. I remember Party Train video where one of the girls was a Blonde.

 

This thread is tricky for me. I wish people's love ones would explain exactly why their loved ones passed away. For instance, I would advise anyone who has an incontinent loved one at home hooked up to a Foley(sp) catheter, instead use paper underpads. Catheters increase the risk for urinary tract infections, which can lead to fatal sepsis.

I know most of these people are celebs and have drug and alcohol issues and their families don't want that out in the public, but otherwise I'd like to know.
Rock funk legend Prince died from a fentanyl and vicodin OD, but at the same time I bet his death saved thousands of lives too.

Even in the 21st century, death can still be a mystery. A little light helps.
