quote:The Delfonics-lid Major Harris overleden.
The Delfonics-lid Major Harris is afgelopen vrijdag op 65-jarige leeftijd overleden, zo melden verschillende media. Hart- en longproblemen werden de zanger fataal. In 1971 werd Harris de vervanger van Randy Cain die soulgroep dat jaar verliet. Daarna ging het een stuk minder met de carrière van The Delfonics, al had Harris ook solo succes met hits als Love Won’t Let Me Wait en I Got Over You.
Harris wordt gezien als een belangrijke pionier in het ontstaan van de door soul en funk beïnvloede ‘Philadelphia sound’. In 1947 werd hij geboren in Richmond, als zoon van een gitarist en kerkkoorleider. In de jaren zestig zong Harris onder andere mee op nummers van Charmers, The Teenagers, The Jarmels en Nat Turner’s Rebellion. Harris was ook te horen op de The Delfonics albums Tell Me This Is A Dream en Alive And Kicking. In 1974 vond Harris het wel weer genoeg bij The Delfonics en pakte hij zijn solocarrière op.
In 1980 kwamen de leden van The Delfonics weer bij elkaar, inclusief Harris. Intussen bestond de groep alleen nog uit William Hart, Frank Washington en Harris. De overgebleven leden waren in 1996 te horen op After The Smoke Is Clear van Ghostface Killah. De laatste keer dat Harris een podium besteeg was in 2011 tijdens een The Delfonics reünieshow. In 1997 leerde een jonger publiek de band kennen doordat Quentin Tarantino hun muziek gebruikte in de film Jackie Brown.

The man born Peter Kuhlmann ("Namlook" is his name pronounced backwards) was an incredibly prolific artist from the '90s on, releasing some 130 albums over the course of his career. These included numerous collaborations with artists like Richie Hawtin, Uwe Schmidt (as Atom Hart), Biosphere and Move D among many others. He also ran his own label, FAX +49-69/450464 (often known simply as Fax), which released more than 100 CDs and records in its first year of operation. Working on his own, Kuhlmann's style was heavily influenced by Germany's kosmische tradition and artists like Brian Eno, as well as classical and Eastern music.
Kuhlmann's daughter Fabia released this brief statement to RA earlier today: "It is with much grief that we announce the passing of Peter Kuhlmann, AKA Pete Namlook. We are still shocked and are working on an official announcement that will follow soon to bring clarity to our minds. As word spreads on the internet more and more we just want to make clear that he died peacefully from as yet unspecified causes on 8th November 2012. We will announce more details as and when they surface."
Kuhlmann was 51 years old. He was an inspiration to countless producers around the world, and his death comes as a big loss not only to those who knew or worked with him, but to the electronic music community as a whole. Our thoughts are with his family and everyone who was close to him.

The drummer influenced the sound of the L.A. band, which for a time lived communally in Topanga Canyon.
By Marisa Gerber, Los Angeles Times
December 8, 2012
Ed Cassidy, the drummer whose musical background influenced the jazz-tinged sound of the band Spirit, which emerged in the late 1960s as one of the West Coast's premier rock groups, has died. He was 89.
Cassidy died Thursday of cancer at an assisted living home in San Jose, said Beverley Cassidy, his ex-wife.
He had already jammed with such jazz greats as Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker before teaming with Randy California, his guitar-playing stepson from another marriage, to form what became Spirit.
The quintet was known for playing "a challenging, sweeping blend of rock, jazz, blues and other musical strains," The Times reported in 1991, and had a "power and subtlety" fostered by living communally in Topanga Canyon. Singer Jay Ferguson, pianist John Locke and bassist Mark Andes rounded out the group.
The band was known mainly for its albums, including 1970's "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus," but had a hit single with 1969's "I Got a Line on You." When the original lineup played the song at the Santa Monica Civic in 1976, The Times called it "one of the top moments in local rock 'n' roll this year."
Born May 4, 1923, Cassidy was considerably older than the other band members — and relished the musical freedom the band provided.
"Rock 'n' roll music really saved my bacon musically," he told The Times in 1991. "What I wanted was a band with no categories that could attempt anything, any style, and make it their own."
Spirit quickly developed a significant fan base and a following among other musicians.
"The Doors were all right, but for many rock fans in the late '60s, the L.A. band that really mattered was Spirit," The Times said in 1991.
Jimi Hendrix incorporated Spirit guitar solos into performances and fans took notice of similarities between Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and Spirit's "Taurus," which was released first. When Led Zeppelin played their first gig in the U.S. in 1968, they opened for Spirit.
Despite their quick assent to moderate fame, band members were pursuing independent ventures by the early 1970s. As the musicians reassembled in various configurations over the decades, Cassidy was called "the world's oldest performing rock 'n' roll drummer." He had long been nicknamed "Mr. Skin" for his bald head.
Spirit's second album, 1969's "The Family That Plays Together," was a nod to stepfather and stepson, who continued to perform together after Cassidy was divorced from California's mother, Bernice Pearl.
About a month after the band released its final studio album, California drowned off the Hawaiian island of Molokai in 1997. The 46-year-old died while saving his 12-year-old son, who had been caught in a riptide.
The Illinois-born Cassidy had lived on a farm there before moving to Bakersfield with his family in the early '30s and later served in the Navy, the Tampa Tribune reported in 1995.
"We just tried to create something of our own with integrity, class," Cassidy said in 1989 in the Chicago Tribune of the genesis of Spirit. "We didn't worry as much about perfection as we did about being real — about being ourselves."
Survivors include a daughter.
