Had he lived, Jimi Hendrix would have turned 75 on Monday. They say genius never dies and his skills are incomparable today...no matter what new music trend or artist tries to take a bite. One has to wonder what would've become of him had he survived that fateful night. Touring with the Stones? A collabo with Prince (no doubt they're somewhere jamming). Anyway, the only way to celebrate this unique life is to share his gifts with those who may have missed out. Here's one of my favorites.
Last month, we lost Keith Wilder of Heatwave, who is best known for singing lead on their popular wedding song "Always and Forever". Him and brother Johnny (who died back in 2006), not only shared lead but wrote many hits with bandmate Rod Temperton. While some may associate them with the disco era, other songs had an R&B flavor to them. Check it out.
