EWF. That Family groove foundation. It was built on Maurice, Verdine, and Freddy. We never had to say much... The Groove was in the Blood ๐ฉธโฆ RIP my little Brother.
Please ๐ Stop And Pray fervently for my grandson Baileโ McDavid who has a mysterious skin illness with no real medical relief. Right now itโs a medical mystery of sorts ravishing his body and health. I'm asking people who really pray, to do so.

This news of Sheldon Reynolds transition is very sad for all of us who knew and worked with him. Sheldon vocally had Reese down. Sheldon was an excellent addition to the band, a great writer and producer, and a kind, loving person. He will be missed. Our condolences to his family

We were on our tour bus when we heard news of Carlos collapsing on stage. It was really hot up on stage tonight. We began to pray and were blessed by the videoโs on social media that show him waving at fans as he left the stage. Weโll continue to pray that it wasnโt serious ๐๐ฟโค๏ธ
This may have been the day Maurice asked me if I played piano, & Iโm thinking ๐ค If I say no, I may be headed back to Denver. So, letโs see what God can do, LOL ... Maurice is behind me, & I wonder what he thought having played with Ramsey Lewis. Thank God for Larry Dunn ๐๐ฟ

๐Happy New Year family!
I'm thankful for life and health. I'm looking forward to sharing this gift with you in 2019! What are you looking forward to?
โค๏ธ I have received so many loving birthday wishes that have been almost overwhelming, almost ๐
70 is a birthday that I feel one really has to stop and pump the brakes, reflect, be introspective , tell those who have been with you, through it all, how much they mean to you.
Funny meeting you here in Hawaii, kind sir. The Great Champion, Warrior, Servant, Dr.
@CornelWest
Thank you for the Spirited conversation. Your insight, wisdom, and brilliance are like rolling rivers

Singing Reasons at Jazz On The Pond in August 2011, considered "a gorgeous ballad" by AllMusic. More than 40 years after having sung it for the first time, and it still transcends.
