Trisco Pearson passed away Friday. Another victim of that god-awful C-word. He's the third member of the group to die, predeceased by Charles "mercury" Nelson and lead singer Antione "TCD" Lundy! May they all RIP.

I guess it would be three if you included DJ Dr. Rock! But he was more of a sideman, ala Cornelius Grant. But I only included the ones that made up the core group.
Wow. These cats were all younger than me. I was a big fan of theirs in the '80s and hearing this is terrible news.
One of the most beautiful singing performances I ever heard is "Tears" from their debut, "Love Letters". It blew my mind when I learned that it was done on one take in their Unsung episode. TC had a voice that ranked with Johnny Wilder, Jr., Luther, Phillip Bailey, and Smokey for its pure smoothness. He didn't have their chops, only because he didn't have their experience. He had soooo much more to do when he died.
With this news, I'm now extremely f***ed up for the next day or so.
