My friend Gary Harris brought this musician named D'Angelo over to my NYC apt. He was trying to figure out what to do with the music he'd brought with him. I listened to every cut...not just out of respect but because it was smoking. At the end of the encounter he asked me, "What should I do with it?"
I remember this as if it were yesterday. I said, "Put it out. It's perfect!" Being the #artist he is, I guess he had to explore some ways to make it better.
About a year later I heard one of those songs on the radio. It was #genius and it was exactly what he had played for me. I know...I still have the original cassette. ~Nile Rodgers❤️🙏🏾✊🏾

Jim Kay on working with #KateBush on #LittleShrew
“You cannot exist in the arts without feeling the pull of her influence, like a bright star in the sky that so many of us navigate by.”

The Guardian on #KateBush
“All of Kate Bush’s sense of wonder, and how she tempers it with not just melancholy but outright sorrow, is threaded through her devastatingly moving new animated short film, Little Shrew.”

A final farewell from Johnnie Walker on the radio: “I’ll miss you a lot. We’ve done a lot of living together”.
Loved seeing you around Radio 2, chatting about the pirates. More than anything, I’ve loved catching up with you every week as a listener.
We’ll miss you too, mate. 📻

Farewell, Donald Sutherland. For Kate Bush fans, his role as psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich in this video, was as iconic as some of his films. Forever Cloudbusting, daddy.

Reading through some lovely tributes to Rob Burrow this morning.
This remains the picture that says it all for me and gets me every time I see it.
Rob became a shadow of his former self but those around him - like Sir Kevin Sinfield - helped to lift him up and showed us all what true friendship means ❤️

A very happy birthday to the ingenious @KateBushMusic.
The timeless work she carried out here including parts of ‘Never For Ever’, ‘The Dreaming’ and ‘Hounds of Love’ remain treasured parts of our story.
Much love from your friends at Abbey Road.

Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, “Because of You,” his first #1 hit.
Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever. ❤
Hope you make a full recovery Edwin. Thoughts are with you and your family.
Update Edwin van der Sar on behalf of his wife Annemarie (July 15):
Edwin has been repatriated from Croatia on Friday evening and is currently in the intensive care unit of a Dutch hospital. His situation remains the same: stable, in a non-life-threatening condition and communicative. The Van der Sar family would like to express their deep gratitude to the ‘University Hospital of Split’ for their great care during the last week.
Edwin has to remain in the intensive care unit where he will be investigated further, and the family fervently hope he can focus on his recovery afterwards.
