He knew where "the gift" came from. Bernie Worrell is love & unselfishness personified. He just gave and gave and gave. The way he treated people is how I want to treat people.

I Can't believe this!!I was Fearing this. Just like Bobby Womack never got2play his last set.After hearing of what happened recently w/ his health n was shocked he was still billed2play in a w/k or2. I Grew up on Pfunk. Bernie was such a nice guy. Running into him In Seattle was becoming regular at a time. We both talked about doin some exp/avante-garde stuff. I was shocked he wanted to do sum wild synths over couple my trax I sent. Him, like a lot of sick artists were idols&taught me young you didn't need to play 4/4 pop bs. He was another master lost in 2016. I can't express the sadness&condolences. Than yesterday SF punker Barker died.Sun also.2016 won't stop stealing my friends&legends. Visit me in a dream Bernie!!RIp...overdose the Katatonic

You will be sorely missed, the genius you infused all your music with will be greatly appreciated, and am glad you are at peace with the ancestors

RIP Mr. Woo. You will always be a pure slice of Heaven in my book. You have given us all so many wonderful "vibes". God's band is surely complete now. You will never be forgotten!

Dr. Worrell, you inspired me before I even knew who you were or what instrument you played. I was trying to learn Flashlight on the electric bass and wasn't figuring it out. I went to the micromoog and thought "I'm closer, but nah that can't be a synth." I channel your approach every time I turn on my minimoog or any other synth. Thanks for defining for me what funk is and for making it so fun. I will always remember you! Deepest condolences to your loved ones. -EJK

from one fractal God hailing from the realm of masters of sound to another I say thank you for laying the pavement and foundation on which I fly throughout the universe upon the tip of sound waves I create. your vision has inspired billions of future creators and will continue to do so for as long as there are those of us alive remembering the work you gave us.

My mom was a teacher in Plainfield and one day she brought me home an autographed copy of Speaking in Tongues. Thanks for sharing so much more ever since then. Your spirit will always be with me. I'll never forget your kindness and the words "Peace, Love, God-Speed"
