RIP 2022

A little bit of the Stax sound. Sam and Dave with the Mar-Keys (otherwise known as Booker T and the MGs plus horns)
Personally I would add Steve Cropper into the guitarists thread but you rock fellas would get upset ;).
In the good reads lists I recommend "Memphis 68 - The tragedy of Southern Soul" by Stuart Cosgrove. If it wasn't for the like of Jim Stewart it may have taken much longer for the racial integration sound to hit the masses. No small feat.

Terry Hall from The Specials has died. Only 63. RIP grumpy guy.
Shit. Saw them play in Brixton only a few years ago.
Was a 'complicated' bloke for sure. Carried a lot of baggage from his youth and a sexual assault as described in a Fun Boy Three song.
Too soon, too young

A slightly frivilous addition to the thread but an important factor in the invention of the Great British Curry House

Poos, my cuzzie introduced me to faithless, great memories and some awesome, original, cutting music
EDIT: just went for run, with my normal random play all the songs on my phone - after the current song finished (I stopped last time half way through) this was next - MY FAVE FAITHLESS!
