Sad news confirmed that Jerry Wexler died today, aged 91.

Very sorry to hear that Paul.

The man who first coined the term "Rhythm & Blues".

Was only watching him a couple of nights ago on the Re-Run of the TV Series "Soul Deep".

A Major contributor to our music, with Atlantic Records, Aretha and his contribution to Muscle Shoals.

Wad a man!

Must have been in his 90's, I guess.

RIP Jerry Wexler: a hugely influential figure in our music. He had a good innings though.

Must have been in his 90's, I guess.

I believe the obit on the radio just now said 91 - not too shabby!

I met Jerry once at The Apollo Theater. I was playing in the pit for a show called "Miss Truth" and he came to see the show and meet the cast and band. I had a quick crush on his daughter (Anita) too. She was an A & R person at a label I can't recall and she liked one of my records but turned it down eventually.

Jerry was a pioneer for sure.

Commiserations to all who knew Jerry, a true innovator. Especially to our own Adam Torel was close to him and confirmed what a genuine guy Jerry was.
