R.I.P Eddie Bo 1930-2009

(Smokey & Eddie)

New Orleans R&B, early funk (one of the precursors like Willie Tee who put the funk into New Orleans map), singer, arranger, producer, pianist, great lyricist too ("You'd better check that spinach / Olive's in the danger zone" "Check Mr. Popeye" 1961)... Eddie Bo passed away and I'm completely screwed.
