    Hey Parallax,

    That is terrible news, as Mr. Covay was a talented singer and songwriter. I ride for these tunes of his especially:











    Mr. Covay left a wonderful and timeless musical legacy. He will live on. RIP.

    Peace,

    RIP Don.

    I spent a long time looking for 'If there's a will...' after Large Professor sampled it for Akinyele.

    Passed away two days ago? You'd think the news would have spread quicker than this.

    I just checked online, and the only reference I saw to his death was on his Wikipedia page. Covay isn't THAT obscure; you'd think the news outlets would have been all over this by now. Still waiting to see if this is a hoax, since "they" tried to kill off Horace Silver and Etta James before their time, as well.

    RIP Mr Covay

    Mick Jagger really ripped off his whole vocal style.
