Scott Edwards...

[diskwave]

I know this site isn't terribly pro soul and groove but I don't think it hurts to mention the death of Scott Edwards.  One of those cool cats from the 70's. He only played on 'I Will Survive' with drummer James Gadson and a ton of Philly soul tunes which we all know to varying degrees...even played on some Hall & Oates hits....As a kid back then I used to listen to these tunes and always wondered who the players were...it fascinated me. Back then the US music scene seemed so glamorous and exciting.

Anyway another groundbreaking 70's musician gone.

He was a great player. Very sad news.

 

Check out his website.

 

Scott played on many hits from Glenn Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy to Stevie Wonder's You Are The Sunshine Of My Life.

Sad news.

Top session player back in the day and a great musician.

 

His website is a bit dated but there is a good list of tunes he played on, including a few of those American TV Drama/Cop themes and seasons from the late 70's and 80's.

Not sure that's true..... I think soul/groove gets as much love here as other genres.
