Growing up in NJ until my mid-twenties, the E Street Band is in my blood. Trip to Asbury Park and going to the STone Pony to listen to some great music are wonderful memories. It is sad, indeed.

Two more singers are gone.
Paul Davis
I loved I Go Crazy and Cool Night, with an honorable mention for 65 Love Affair.

Jackie Wilson - Lonely Teardrops, (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher, etc. - has also passed.

I think you meant Al 'Show & Tell' Wilson.

Whoops. You're right. I knew it was Al, but for some reason, Jackie popped into the head before the fingers started typing.
It should have been a clue when I looked up Jackie's bio and couldn't find a reference to his being from Mississippi. Al was born in Meridian.

Well we've lost another giant (to some of us), Jimmy McGriff. It was hard to talk about the best like Jimmy Smith without at least mentioning Jimmy McGriff although many don't know him. One web site had a cover of his "At the Apollo" lp and someone replied, "who's that on organ"? Oh well to those who know we've lost another great musician. RIP

Sad to lose another great one. Didn't know that he had MS. You wouldn't know from how he played....

Sydney Pollack...what a great loss.
