The 'unobtrusive percussionist'

This is a lovely interview on RTE (Irish main channel) from about 5 years ago. It's 25 minutes, but if you've not got time, at 24:45 is Terry's reply to the question "what will you say to the great Director General in the sky when you meet him?"

Stephen , thank you for that. Great interview and a different side to the man.

Maurice White, of Earth Wind & Fire, age 74.
Another voice of my formative years gone. EW&F featured regularly at the Friday night disco at Bindles in Barry with the Sammy Black DJ Experience. I cried to After The Love Has Gone when my first proper boyfriend finished with me and me and the girls bopped around our handbags to Boogie Wonderland.

RIP Maurice x

Always had a soft spot for Earth Wind & Fire. They managed to incorporate some real soul into their disco grroves. September & Fantasy, to name but two, are great songs. RIP Maurice.

Amen.  And they were pretty darn funky in their pre-disco years.  RIP Maurice.

Double amen. When disco had passed and it was unfashionable to mention much of it for fear of ridicule from people, Earth Wind & Fire remained acceptable and cool. The reason was precisely for what you both said-they had soul and they had funk.

Thomas Dolby (who's now living here in Baltimore) posted this yesterday, some footage he had of Dan Hicks and him performing I Scare Myself together. It's something he had been meaning to edit but had never gotten around to it, felt the need to yesterday. Very entertaining. It also shows Hicks teaching the rest of the band (Don Was, Zoe Keating and Narada Michael Walden) a new song.

Interesting demographic observation - when this RIP thread began it took almost a year to reach eight pages. The first few weeks of 2016 have already run to eight pages...

Many years ago I spoke to a 90 year old sitting alone in a pub. He couldn't understand where all his friends had gone.

Amongst all the other sad news we have had this year this has to be the most incredibly tragic event. So young. There are no words really!

Apologies if I don't express myself well and I sound rather crass.
This is an awful event.
Like Jim I didn't know the band.
My immediate response , when I first read Brij's post this morning ,was to think back to the Fairport crash and the death of Martin.
I used to work with a guy, a friend, whose 18 yr old son was killed in a car crash.
That funeral, with all his friends from school in tears around me, was one of the most painful and poignant I have ever attended.
I can only think of the pain that the families of these lads is having to deal with.
