Willie Kent Dead at 70
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
As you probably know, Willie Kent had been battling cancer for a while now. He succumbed to the disease on Thursday, March 2 in his home near Chicago.
Willie’s soulful singing, simple yet strong bass lines, and presence will be sorely missed. On a personal note, I wanted so much to see him when I visited Chicago two weeks ago, and he was scheduled to play both just before and just after we left. A true bluesman, he played right till the end.
A nice obituary from the Chicago Tribune is here.
