This only 7 months after losing Bernie Worrell. Then there’s David Bowie. Prince.

Wow what a run of bad news for music lovers worldwide.

I have been one of Junie’s biggest fans since the day I was born. I was literally coming into the world as he was leaving the Ohio Players and his music is in the soundtrack of my life.

All kinds of genius and inspiration came out of this man.

I can’t summarize my feelings at this point so I’ll let others go through their own rediscovery of him for your benefit:
