Too bad. RIP. Great music Luthur. Also I remember Cool and the Gang, Sly and the Family Stone, the Commodores, etc.

Now look at the crap put out by the black music industry. Pure filth! Sad.

I view it as an insult to Luther and all the other greats who paved the way

The article you posted from Fox News had to be excerpted further. Material from Fox News needs more than one sentence removed to be considered excerpted unless it's a two sentence article. In this case you could have removed about half of the article and it would have been fine.

Oh man, you ain't kidding. There's nothing like 70s R&B. Big fan of The Brothers Johnson, Sly and the Family Stone, Lou Rawls, The Spinners, Ohio Players, the OJays and so many more.

The current soul and RB scene is just a sad imitation, and don't even get me started on hip hop.

What I dislike most about rap and hip hop is it chased real R&B and beautiful soul music off the airways.

No doubt that what passes for music (with a few exceptions) today sickens...

Two more of the best...both dead too young...but what music they made.

Enjoy!

Did you say Kool and the Gang and that great voice of JT's?

Do you remember when great Black musicians got to play their instruments?

I shudder when I think how bad it's gotten bad out there in the "music" world.
