Very sad news only 60 years of age, just read on News Channel 3 he died last night at home in Dallas laugh.gif

Very sad news indeed , the man made some superb sounds.

I went to see him live at Fleetwood a few years ago but he did'nt seem to be in the best of health then. He was very overweight and seemed to struggle a little with his act due to this.

Tragic news indeed - hugely underrated IMHO - had his own unique style - another sad loss to the soul scene.

RIP Willie

Big favorite in the page houehold. God bless and hope he has gone to a better place :yes:

MEMPHIS- Millions of R&B and Motown fans are mourning the loss of Willie Hutch. The soul singer and songwriter died last night at his home in Dallas, Texas. The cause of death has not yet been released. Hutch was 60-years old.

Anyone who spent time with Willie at Fleetwood a few years back or experienced him live on stage there will know how nice he was.

As someone said to me this year- cherish them while you can.

Real sad news but at least it appears that he knew how much he meant to the UK soul scene, which sadly many other 'greats' were unaware.

'Love runs out' - what more could you ask for in a record on our scene and his unique voice getting right to the soul.

RIP Sir.

Very sad, Roger was playing his 'Duck' at the 100 on Saturday. The next spin will have to be in remembrance.

Very sad news Ady , think I'll play either " Love runs out " or " Just another day " at Wellingborough on friday , the man made some brilliant albums and 45's . Best Wishes , Eddie .

Agreed Simon. Remember his from Fleetwood and having a chat with him lovely man, so sad

Will be playing Love Power at the Sydney National out of respect,

Bless you Mr Hutch you have put a smile on all our faces for many years and many more to come!

A great loss indeed! Willie Hutch was a prolific writer and producer who produced Brenda Holloway amongst others and wrote loads of stuff with Marc Gordon for Modern Records and Jobete Music (Motown Publisher) in LA. He and Marc were also instrumental in the early success of The Fifth Dimension. I'll be spinning 'I Can't Enough' on Modern in his memory tonight.

Another loss to our great scene. RIP Willie our love for you will never run out!

Bless him - I know I always profess to be embarrassed that I did The Duck on stage with Willie at Fleetwood (with La Levine, personal choreographer, stage left :thumbsup: ) but I'm left with a very personal memory of one of the Soul greats and I'm really grateful for that.

this is so sad news

Condolences to Willies family stateside, another one gone to the "nighter" in the sky. A true soul legend.
