Let me guess, Covid.
Their best tune as I remember: Too Hot. A cool, sultry tune with meaning.

Rumor was they were a mafia band. Financed by the mob and had to stay together forever.
When someone “passes away peacefully in their sleep,” my mom says, “God loved him.”
RIP.
Did he take the vaccine?
Saw them in concert about a month ago.
RIP. Hope it’s just right where you are. Kool and not Too Hot.
I liked Jungle Boogie and Hollywood Swinging.
Great live band, seen them several times. Way too young. R.I.P. soul brotha!
did he get the jab?
also, “Celebration” was one of the greatest songs of its time.
RIP.
Summer Madness, long version. I just played it to remember him and his band. Even my Millennial/Gen Z kids love it. Truly a classic.
I was a freak I hated disco except it’s where the split tails were...
But this band were more than Disco
They could do a lot more
Not quite maggot brain level
But very good...
Heard Ladies Night on our new ‘80s radio station just yesterday. Yep, an eighties only radio station. Granted the song was 1979 so slightly out of scope.
Met him once on tour. “Kool” guy indeed. Very about business, but very kool about it.
RIP
