Walter Gaines of the Originals RIP

[MotownSteve]

I just got an email from the Motown Alumni Society indicating he died this morning in California.

I am sorry to hear of Walter's passing. The Originals were a favorite group of mine in the late 60's and early 70's and Walter was a part of that. My sympathies go out to his family, friends and fans. RIP Walt

Yes I was saddened to receive the email this morning, Yes still think the Originals were so seriously under rated and never given the due they so well deserved.

May Walter Rest in Peace and Condolences to his Family and Friends.

Tragic, just tragic. May Mr. Gaines be with the Lord making beautiful music with Freddie, Ty and Joe. Sing pretty for the angels Walt.
