This news is so devastating, it hurts to report it. Master musician George Duke has passed away.
The news came via notification from Ron Brewington, Motown Alumni Association (MAA). He was informed of George’s passing from former Supremes member Scherrie Payne in the note below
I just received the devastating and sad news that the great musician, George Duke, passed away this evening at St. John’s hospital in L.A. It was just one year earlier, July 18th, that his beloved wife and my friend, Corine, went to be with the Lord. Please keep his sons, Rasheed and John, in your prayers.Unfortunately no details of George Duke’s death are available as of this posting.
Funeral services will be private.
Blessings,
Scherrie
It’s worth noting that George had just released (on July 13) a new album called “Dreamweaver” which was a tribute to his dearly departed wife Corine, who passed away a year ago from cancer.
You can find reviews for the album here:

EUR’s Lee Bailey had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing his old friend for that album as well. You can read those interviews via the links below:

He worked together with Michael on Off The Wall. Rest In Peace.
