Chick Corea has returned to forever - a huge presence in the world of jazz and fusion - yet another gaping hole. R.I.P.

JAMES BURKE: singer for Five Stairsteps
aged: 70
cause: pneumonia
the article: Five Stairsteps singer James Burke dies at 70 (msn.com)
Five Stairsteps Wiki: Five Stairsteps - Wikipedia
to be honest, i had not heard of the band until i recently posted the new Paul Stanley single "Ooh Child" which was their biggie back in 1970.
they were a five sibling group.
strange that both A.J Croce and Paul Stanley both cover the song at similar times then the original singer dies...
anyway,
only thing i know by them:

BUNNY WAILER original "wailer", percussion and vocals (63-74)
aged: 73
cause: complications from 2020 stroke.
the article: Bunny Wailer dies aged 73 (msn.com)
his Wiki: Bunny Wailer - Wikipedia
Wailers Wiki: Bob Marley and the Wailers - Wikipedia
Bunny was the last of the original Wailers
so a whole slice of music history has now physically died
but we still have the music:
a little something he released four years ago:

MICHAEL GUDINSKI - Australian music impresario
aged: 68
cause: unknown
the article: Michael Gudinski dies aged 68 (smh.com.au)
his Wiki: Michael Gudinski - Wikipedia
there are two people responsible for the success of the Australian music industry, Mr Gudinski was one, Ian Meldrum is the other (ive mentioned him on the forum numerous times in the past)...
as a teenager he started promoting dancehall events, then booking bands, starting up and owning the most successful music label in the country, Mushroom Records, and being responsible for signing the most iconic artists from here.

Sorry to learn this news. RIP Rusty Young - another of the good ones gone  .
You'll probably recognise this CH - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDKVnVTz8sY
"Crazy Eyes" is a tour de force IMHO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pb0H8FiHfE
and "Ghost Town" - all written by Rusty Young - he's the lead vocalist on the latter two - great guitarist as well ... (video for "Ghost Town" is not in sync but it's nice to see the clips) ...
