I met you at a woo-ful gig in Chicago, Judie. You have been the most woonderful champion of all things Bernie. Today I feel for those who knew & loved him most personally, like, for example, his multi-Rubberband brother Bootsy. Yet just a bit more I hope for solace in peace for you, Judie. Your fortitude over the course of this year reminds me of the unreckonable resolve my mother showed when she took it upon herself usher my father forth. Woo together forever, Dr. G. Bernard Worrell, Jr.

My condolences to the family. The levels may be different...but one we all live and admired has transitioned. From my first live encounter...'75-'76 in Denton, Texas during the 1st leg of the Mothership tour....when they had tech issues and Bernie fired up the biggest joint I'd ever seen and gave the most incredible solo keyboard performance I'd ever seen (about 20 minutes worth)..playing every synth in his arsenal....to today, when his legacy is iron clad. I'm proud thst my nephew gravitated to my LPs..fell in love with PFunk and idolized Bernie and is now a self taught musician and producer with major artist credits for which he credits Bernie as his musical inspiration.

Arhhhh the music stoped to today.
Funk in space and time; the wizard of woo has left the building.
Hurts so bad to know he would have to appear in his own fundraiser concert to pay for his cancer treatment !
Is that how we threat our heroes ?
Forever greatfull, son of the P
Take Funk to heaven and beam a little Flashlight down to us.
Peace go with you brother.

As sure as we come from the One who comes from none, so must be our return. You have inspired a universe. Your music heals so many hurting hearts. Because of your music, I "am" MoodControl. Shine it on the Funk...
