Sad to have to report that legendary Philly artist, songwriter, producer and all round musical influence Morris Bailey has passed away. No real details as yet but Morris had been ill for some time. Details posted as they come from the family. 

 

For those that are maybe not familiar with name of Mo Bailey.... here's just a couple of his contributions:

Moh Jake (Maurice Bailey), passed away at the Cliveden Convalescent Home in Germantown Penn last Saturday (2nd November 2013). His battle with Muscular Dystrophy finally getting the better of him via respiratory failure. He was 81 years old. Sadly his equally musically gifted brother and drummer Donald "Duck' Bailey passed only two weeks ago too. No doubt they'll be poring over charts or arranging the choir together now.

Mr Bailey's contribution to the Philly musical landscape was understated but immeasurable.

Just thought it right and fitting that the details of his passing be recorded here. Sleep well Mr Bailey, and congratulation on a job EXTREMELY well done Sir.

Regards,

Dave

Getting to be all too frequent the passing of those who made the music we love.

Sorry to hear this.

Rest in peace Morris.
