RIP Bob Babbit

[Curtis]

I saw a RIP John Lord thread, but nothing yet about Bob. One of the great Motown players.... RIP Bob!!

Bob was right up there with James. RIP bro, let's hope you get to jam together now.

If you guys haven't seen "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" yet, about the
Funk Brothers, you are missing the best music documentary ever. I'm not
sad for Babbitt, he did great work and was recognised for it. A life in music
is hard but that is not a tragedy.

RIP Bob Babit, you where a bad ass!

Also I love that documentary, I did an essay on Motown for uni. Never had more fun and I hate essays.

Babbitt´s resume of artists he worked with is huge and impressive.

RIP.

Bob was the very last one standing of old the old breed of funksters
[altho when I watched him about 5 yrs ago he played sitting down].
