    He was on American Idol (last season?) on Motown Night. He looked in bad shape then.

    RIP Bob. 

    You and James can yuk it again (and show Jaco how to funk it up even more).

    Holy shvt....last Monday I (again) watched the Funk Brothers/Motown special. Almost 2 hours IIRC and quite a good tribute to them. I grew up with Motown music and it was an incredible music era, to say the least. RIP. Carry on...
