The manager of a part time Saturday job I work is a huge FF fan: met the band, has the shirts, has the personalized license plate on the car...the whole nine. She was noticeably irritable today. From what I was told, it was heart related. He had his drug problems starting out but has been clean since, supposedly. EDIT: guess not... https://www.yahoo.com/news/foo-fighters-drummer-taylor-hawkins-031606287.html
Really sad and what a tough year for comedy. I actually got to see Gilbert do a set a couple of weeks ago in Toronto, and it was everything I could hope for. What a funny, depraved man.
Propert scathing review! I don't actually know the album, was just linking something random to celebrate him. For those that don't know, Donald sang on the OG Expansions by his bro, Lonnie Liston Smith. He didn't lead many albums but appeared on a lot of great songs.
Higher Ground did a tribute to him last night - it's not archived quite yet, but should be soon here and for the next week: https://ciut.fm/shows/higher-ground/
you'd think so, but it's a bit like assuming working class whites will all vote for promises of their own material benefit... it'll hold true for many but not as much as you might assume.
This one has been in my boogie crate for gigs and gets played pretty regularly.
Didn't know this one, cheers Bill
It's been a favorite for a while. The intro is loud and pierces through everything. It makes it easy to transition and slow down the dancefloor for a few seconds before the beat kicks back in.

I thought it was a joke at first sight. Shocking! He looked to be in amazing shape for his age.
RIP
Amazing Johnathan and Barbara Morrison left us.

I don’t know much of Donald Smith’s output but the track you linked is from an album full of disappointments.
