Re: Lee Young

And Isaac Hayes now too I've just heard...

Hope IvyLeagueOfGentlemen gets well soon, we can't afford to lose anybody else.

Re: Lee Young

Jimmy McGriff has also left us on May 24... He will always be remembered for great instrumentals such as "All about my Girl", "I've Got a Woman" and "The Worm"...

Lee Young,
Johnny Griffin,
Jimmy Giuffre,
Isaac Hayes,
Jimmy McGriff

Rest in peace! You guys left great footprints and you won't be forgotten!
