Don Covay

I read that he passed away this morning, but have no details. Anyone?

No, but it's allover facebook.

Loosing artists all the time now, few left from the 50's & 60's.

S.S.

RIP Don. :[[

I read it awhile ago,another legend gone,one of the greats...r.i.p.

Im so sorry RIP Mr Covay

One of the finest and most underrated of all soul artists. He'd not been well for a long time so no real shock, I suppose, but still sad.

As a Phillysound obsessive as I am, practically the only thing I have by Don Covay is "Travelin' In Heavy Traffic" album from wich I likes a lot "Owe To Your Body", the last track. i have read that Mick Jagger from Rolling Stones admits that he wants to imitate the voice of Don Covay from the first time he heard him. Anyway a very seminal artist! RIP
