    RIP. At one point he was the 3rd highest paid singer after Elvis and Sinatra.

    Think he was a bit more than a singer

    RIP, however I totally misread this and thought Sly Stallone had gone.

    Very special.
    RIP.
    His music, apart from being great, had black and white, male and female joyous together…with a great artistic symbolism of parts coming together in the marvellous ‘Dance to the Music’, where the sum of the song acknowledged the value of all the individual contributions.

    Unbelievable musician and a massive, massive loss. One of the handful you'd just say was funk, as a genre. RIP.

    Read his biography last year. A very flawed genius without whom a lot of bands even genres wouldn't exist in part.
