R.I.P. Teddy Pendergrass – http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/arts/music/15pendergrass.html

Soulful crooner Teddy Pendergrass was much apart of my musical landscape when I was growing up in Chicago. As explained in the article, his message was erotic without telling you everything, unlike today’s young crooner.

R.I.P. Ed Thigpen – http://www.npr.org/blogs/ablogsupreme/2010/01/ed_thigpen_remembering.html

Jazz legend Ed Thigpen best for his recordings with legendary pianist Oscar Peterson. He also recorded, played or toured with Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Cootie Williams, Billy Taylor and many others.
