R.I.P singer Johnny Kemp and actor Ben Powers

Ben Powers actually passed a few weeks ago on April the 6th. A lot of deaths happening. Plus cardinal Francis George today as well.

It's ironic that I learn of the news about Johnny on a Friday! Rest in Peace Johnny.

Sad news. He only had one monster hit, but 'Just Got Paid' is one of the iconic hits of the '80s and was a great collaboration between him and Teddy Riley. My prayers are offered for his family.

I loved that track Just Got Paid. Very sad news.

Thoughts go to family and friends at this sad time.

Here's an audio/photo tribute B and I put up to Johnny. Recording and photos from the 1988 Detroit Afrofest. It was her opener for a while back then. Rudy Robinson on keys.

The death of Richard Anthony was also recently announced - he died on 20 April 2015. He had one single released on VIP during the 1960s.

I often wondered what happened to Ben Powers after Good Times. Apparently, he became disenchanted with Hollywood.
