September/October 2016 was a very sad time for the soul/funk dance scene. Two great artists of this genre, Kashif & Rod Temperton went to the great concert in the sky. The following involved Rod Temperton & Kashif:
Evelyn “Champagne” King James Ingram
Melba Moore Donna Summer
Johnny Kemp Herbie Hancock
Whitney Houston Manhattan Transfer
Kenny G Mica Paris
Stacy Lattisaw Freda Payne
Dionne Warwick Meli’sa Morgan
George Benson
If you know your stuff in funk/soul of the 80’s…have a real close look at that list…not forgetting their own performing careers, Kashif as a solo artist and of course Rod Temperton in the UK soul band Heatwave…. amazing…
