So sorry and sad to report the passing of Funk Brother guitar legend Eddie "Chank" Willis. Eddie had been ailing for many years and is now pain free. I had the privilege of celebrating with Eddie the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and Hollywood Walk of Fame honor. Eddie was so happy and on Cloud 9. Condolences to Rose and the Willis family...

Very sad. Is there confirmation of this please?

Another legend has gone on. Rest in Peace Mr. Willis. Thank you for all of the great music.

Chank was great to talk to.

Actually slight correction in order from Brian McCollums Free Press report. Original Funk Brother Jack Ashford is still alive [[as well as Joe Messina) and doing well.
Glad he was able to be there for the Star on the Walk Of Fame. RIP, Mr. Willis, and thank you for all the music!
Very sad news.
But as others have said, his music will live on!
Thank you Eddie.
