This past Sunday the music world lost another great talent. For those of you who may not know the man you surely knew the music. One of the best session men around, Mr. Dupree recorded with Donny Hathaway, King Curtis, Lena Horne and Miles Davis among others.
It's his tasteful guitar you hear on Brook Benton's "Rainy Night In Georgia" as well as the intro to Aretha's "Respect". For the jazz lovers, how about the Steve Gadd group Stuff?
Cornell Dupree died while waiting for a lung transplant.
Thank you for the music, Mr. Dupree.
Thank you Mr. Dupree. R.I.P.
