R.I.P. Biz Markie

Read More Biz Markie At first with a prerecorded T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" and then they covered Biz Markie's "Just a Friend", which got the crowd singing along. Their finale "It's Alright" ended their set with a couple of audience …

If you haven’t heard, rapper / producer / beatboxer Biz Markie passed away on Friday at the age of 57. Rolling Stone wrote, “While a cause of death was not revealed, the rapper had struggled in recent years with health issues related to his decade-long battle with Type 2 diabetes.”

Although he suffered from poor health, based on his music and in past interviews, “The Clown Prince of Hip-Hop” seemed like a pretty fun guy to hang around with.

Even if you don’t care about Biz Markie, it’s hard to ignore the impact of his hit song, “Just a Friend”… as demonstrated in hearing Matt & Kim covered it at Go Fest 2015:

At first with a prerecorded T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" and then they covered Biz Markie's "Just a Friend", which got the crowd singing along.

Believe me, it’s pretty amazing to hear the entire audience knowing all the words and singing back.

R.I.P. Johnny Solinger (Skid Row) and Gift of the Gab (Blackalicious)

Read More Johnny Solinger Former SKID ROW singer Johnny Solinger has died at the age of 55. His passing comes a little over a month after he announced he was suffering from liver failure. Earlier today, SKID ROW issued the following … Blackalicious Blackalicious' tour starts today (January 7th) in Denver. The Sacramento duo is currently touring in support of their critically-acclaimed new album Imani, Vol. 1 (OGM Recordings/Mahogany Sun/Quannum Projects) which landed #1 on the Hip Hop …

SKID ROW

TMZ reported that former Skid Row singer Johnny Solinger died at the age of 55. This came after a month that he mentioned he had liver cancer.

When I first mentioned the news (“Skid Row singer died”), my sister thought it was Sebastian Bach… who was actually the singer of the group at the height of their popularity (Slave to the Grind). After Bach was fired from Skid Row in 1996, it was Johnny Solinger who replaced Bach.

Solinger stayed with Skid Row until 2015… although he did experimented in pursuing a solo career in Country Music during his time with Skid Row.

BLACKALICIOUS

In other death news - Timothy J. Parker a.k.a. The Gift of Gab recently passed away at the age of 50, according to the Quannum Projects:

“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear brother, Tim peacefully departed this earth to be with our ancestors on Friday, June 18, 2021. He is survived by two brothers, one sister, many nieces and nephews, countless friends, and fans across the globe. We ask that the family’s privacy is respected as we mourn the tremendous loss of our dear brother.”

We first heard of Gift of the Gab in Blackalicious, when they went on tour in 2016.

R.I.P. Lionel Leroy (Ulysses 31)

Read More Lionel Leroy For any fan who like me will love to find the titles of our childhood. The only downside is missing... like the sublime titles of Éneriqué. Still remains the only album with a lot of titles. …

I was sadden to learn that French singer Lionel Leroy had passed away on June 20th, at the age of 65.

According to the article on parismatch.com , his real name is Yves Martin and he’s married to popular French singer Sheila. The article also mentioned that he “interpreted” theme songs for Starsky and Hutch and Dallas (maybe for the French version?).

Personally speaking, I only know him as the singer/songwriter of the theme song to Ulysses 31 (the 80s French/Japanese cartoon). I saw the television show in the USA and absolutely love the awesome theme song. In fact, the Ulysses 31: 40th Anniversary Soundtrack was the last album I bought on Amazon. It’s hard to believe it’s been 40 years (in 2021)… but the music sounded just as good as it did in 1981.

Although I love the soundtrack and the animation… Unfortunately, the cartoon fell into obscurity. If you talk to anyone around my age, they’ve never heard of it.

It’s such a great concept. It’s about Ulysses in the 31st century. He offended the gods, and was banished to unknown space… and the entire series is Ulysses trying to find his way home from his long odyssey.

While other cartoons from the 80s, such as Transformers, GI Joe, and He-Man, are all celebrated … not so for Ulysses 31. It’s possible that no one remembered or liked the show, or that it’s tied up in some weird rights and distribution.

Again, I’m sadden to hear that Lionel Leroy has died. If you want to celebrate his work, I highly recommend buying the 40th Anniversary Soundtrack of Ulysses 31. It’s only $6 on Amazon Digital.

R.I.P. Juan Nelson (Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals)

Read More Ben Harper Grammy-winning Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite concert is taking place at the Palace Theatre this Wednesday, August 1st. ... …

So many musicians have passed this year. Recently we learned that Juan Nelson, from Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, has died.

To keep track of all the musicians who died this year, head over to Musicians Who Died in 2021.

Below is an excerpt from the press release:

World renowned and beloved bassist Juan Nelson passed away this Wednesday June 9, 2021. Performing with Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals for nearly 3 decades, there’s no one that can match the versatility, virtuosity, and mastery of Juan Nelson. In addition to being an accomplished and soulful bassist Juan was also a record producer, composer, and songwriter.

Juan was born on August 24th, 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio and he moved to California in the late 1960’s. As a child, he was always fond of music. However, the bass guitar was his first love, and he bought his first instrument as a teen while working several jobs. “My first bass was a K bass and it cost 70 dollars,” Juan told Bass Player Magazine. “I saved up to buy it, took it home to play it and then found out that I need an amp to hear it!”. Juan eventually got that amp and the rest is history. He recounted playing for hours on end, often in the bathroom where the acoustics were best. Juan’s first show with Ben Harper and the band that became the Innocent Criminals was on April 30th, 1994 when they performed at Nick’s Caffé Trevi in Claremont, California. The musicians went on to have a 27 year long friendship and musical partnership, starting with Ben’s 1995 Album Fight for Your Mind and the Grammy Award Winning There Will Be A Light with the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Rest in peace.

R.I.P. B.J. Thomas

Read More B.J. Thomas B.J. Thomas, a handsome, curly-haired crooner who climbed the music charts in the late 1960s and ’70s, recording richly orchestrated, irresistibly catchy pop songs such as “Hooked on a Feeling” and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” died May 29 at his home in Arlington, Texas ... …

We just got words that B.J. Thomas had died today (May 29) at his home in Arlington, Texas, from complications due to stage four lung cancer. He is famous for his songs “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” To keep track of all the musicians who died this year, head over to Musicians Who Died in 2021.

Below is an excerpt from the press release:

Five-time Grammy award winner and Grammy Hall of Fame inductee, B.J. Thomas, died today at home in Arlington, Texas at the age of 78 from complications due to stage four lung cancer.

Few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than B.J. Thomas. With his smooth, rich voice and unerring song sense, Thomas’s expansive career crossed multiple genres, including country, pop, and gospel, earning him CMA, Dove, and Grammy awards and nominations since his emergence in the 1960s.

…

Funeral arrangements are forthcoming and will remain private. In lieu of flowers, in-memoriam donations will be accepted by Mission Arlington, Tarrant Area Food Bank, and the SPCA of Texas.

Although he’s responsible for many iconic songs, he remains ever so humble on his life and his work: “All I am is just another guy. I’ve been very lucky. I’ve had a wonderful life, I’ve been a husband and a father who cherishes his children and now I’m a grandfather, and I’m motivated like all these teachers and preachers and mothers and fathers to help my kids grow up with character and self-respect. I hope that doesn’t sound too grandiose, but that’s what it comes down to. It’s what I’ve tried to do with my music and with the majority of my life.”

Rest in peace.

R.I.P. Alex Trebek

Alex Trebek on Music Hop Read More Jeopardy Things got started with a bang as Greg Kihn emerged for a three-song, seventeen-minute set starting with hit, ‘Jeopardy’ (known as much, or more for Weird Al’s parody version of the song). …

Alex Trebek, the long-running game show host of Jeopardy!, has passed away on November 8th, 2020, at the age of 80. Before Jeopardy, his very first hosting job was on a Canadian music program called Music Hop in 1963. After that, he hosted for CBC, talking about classical music programs, etc… so Trebek was a music lover.

When news of his death came out, music icon Don McLean (famous for “American Pie”), shared his story about Alex Trebek.

Setlist photo courtesy of Don McLean

It was Trebek’s longtime dream to have McLean perform at his Christmas party for the Jeopardy staff at Vitellos restaurant in 2019. He expressed his concern that he might not have the budget to include McLean for this show, but “didn’t want to not give it a try.”

Of course, McLean agreed to perform... and when the musician arrived at the restaurant, Trebek whipped out a sheet of paper and wrote the songs he wanted McLean to play, from his memory, down to the extract length of time. The man was as sharp as ever, given the fact that he was on heavy medication, around this time.

We’ll miss you, Alex Trebek.

I listened to it, it’s very jazzy. I believe they were a trio, and the most memorable part of the group was their singer, Belle du Berry, who had a very sweet voice. I’m sadden to learn that she died at the age of 54 to cancer.

R.I.P. Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers), Bob Lander (The Spotnicks), and Cady Groves

Read More The Spotnicks Founding member of longtime instrumental band The Spotnicks has died on Jan 3rd. Fellow Spotnicks bassist Björn Thelin passed away on 24 Jan 2017. …

There’s a fresh death list building, for the month of May, at our Musician Death List 2020. Of the 13 musicians who died this month (we’re only on May 4th!), we are going to highlight some of the names that caught our attention.

The biggest name on the list is Dave Greenfield, the keyboardist for The Stranglers. He died from Coronavirus on Sunday. The English rock band had 23 UK top 40 singles, including “Golden Brown”, “No More Heroes”, and “Peaches”.

Early Stranglers sound was driven by bass and Dave Greenfield’s keyboards, who drove the melodies in their songs.

Also, guitarist for The Spotnicks, Bob Lander has died at the age of 78. You may recall that Spotnicks’ other guitarist Bo Winberg also died in January 2020 and fellow Spotnicks’ bassist Björn Thelin passed away in Jan 2017.

All the deaths happened relatively close to each other, and it is sad to announce that there are no original surviving band members for instrumental band.

Cady Groves: This Little Girl EP

Finally, singer/songwriter Cady Groves has died at the age of 30, making her one of the youngest on the recent death list. She’s best known for her 2012 single, “This Little Girl”.

At the time of her death, she had signed a deal with Thirty Tigers label and working on a summer 2020 EP. Perhaps her EP can be released posthumously.

I couldn’t believe the news when I read that Fountains of Wayne’s singer/songwriter Adam Schlesinger had passed away from Coronavirus / COVID-19.

According to Variety: “Adam Schlesinger, a musician and songwriter highly regarded for his work as a member of Fountains of Wayne and an Emmy-winning songwriter for TV’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” has died as a result of coronavirus complications, Variety has confirmed. He was 52.”

I never saw Fountains of Wayne live, however, I did, like many of you, own a copy of their break-out album Welcome Interstate Managers, featuring that stupid catchy song, “Stacy’s Mom”.

The closest thing to seeing them live was watching their show, via DVD called No Better Place: Live in Chicago. Although in my review, I noted that the show was censored - the word “S****” removed from “Bright Future in Sales”. It was probably done as the show was intended for broadcast on national television…

Like I said, I never saw FoW live, but I have seen Adam before - he is actually in a band called Ivy. I have this photo of Ivy, and you can see Adam with Andy Chase behind him.
