The Grim Reaper wreaked havoc in May. Robin Gibb, Donna Summer and Adam Yauch were the headliners, but there were also members of The Dillards and Crowded House who left us. Two blues and soul guitarists died: Charles Pitts, who played on so many of Isaac Hayes’ records (his guitar helped make The Theme of Shaft such an iconic track) and Pete Cosey, who played on many Chess records. In April we lost Andrew Love, who was involved in creating the iconic intro for Otis Redding’s Try A Little Tenderness. In May we lost another co-creator of a [...]

So I've been spending some time recently filtering through "stuff." That is, combing through piles, boxes, and closets full of belongings in the attempt to get our house ready for sale. One thing that'll wreck our chance of a sale, even more so than walls painted in disturbing (read: not beige) colors, is the presence of the evil clutter. So [...]

Robin Gibb, 1949-2012 It seems like the "in memoriam" posts are coming fast and furious lately - and I didn't even do one for Donna Summer, as much as I like a few of her hits. But I couldn't let the death of the Bee Gees' Robin Gibb today at the age of 62 from cancer go unremarked, because I was a bit of a fan back in the '70s, and heck, they were one of the most successful groups ever. While Barry Gibb may have been the most dominant vocal presence in [...]

It really feels like disco has died. The tragic news of Donna Summers last week coupled with the latest passing of Robin Gibb has solidified the final straw that disco is dead. Many people are quick to pass judgement on a genre of music that blended dance, soul and a lifestyle that many tried to emulate during a time that was filled with unemployment, war and wait a minute, doesn't seem like much as changed in the last couple of decades. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER FOR LIFE! Mick Jagger breathed some new life into SNL as [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - Their hits could fill an entire Saturday night, last until the first church bell rang on Sunday morning and provide a sweat-drenched workout on the dance floor that broke only for the slow numbers. Even more remarkable was that each classic gem of the Bee Gees, whose co-founder Robin Gibb died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, would be packed with feeling.
