It's difficult to say goodbye to a mentor...A man who has influenced my style of play, my writing, and my soul for so many years....The master keyboardist, wizard and one of the true musical genius's behind the great Parliament-Funkadelic ground breaking funk opus, "KNEE-DEEP." 15 minutes of the most funky, soulful, melodic, most hypnotic chord progressions in music history.."The Freak of the Week!"
The Wizard of Woo totally slayed the keyboard tracks on this recording, and everything else he played....But in my humble opinion, no other funk offering will ever top KNEE DEEP! With George Clinton and Philipe Wynn....Knee Deep is one of the most sampled tracks in hip/hop lore....
He was brilliant! An incredible teacher...An "out of this world" pianist/keyboardist and composer....Bernie's hooks will be sung forever...And they should be...Rest with the ancestors now Bernie. After so many years of labor, you've earned this reward. Peace!
