Seano Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sad to hear. I'm glad that he was still alive to see The Funk Brothers at least get belated acclaim via 'Standing in the Shadows' etc, though those who worked with him like Dennis Coffey quoted in the article clearly didn't need that to know his qualities. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Lots of great tributes to this uniquely talented artist on you tube. Such a shame these guys never got the financial rewards they should have. RIP and thanks for the memories. Ed 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve W Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Very sad at this news. His opening guitar Intro to "Its a Shame" at the Funk Brothers UK Tour was very special. RIP Eddie and thanks for a great memory. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
