JJ Cale Has Passed Away
JJ Cale passed away at 8:00 pm on Friday July 26
at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, CA.
The legendary singer / songwriter had suffered a heart attack.
There are no immediate plans for services.
His history is well documented at JJCale.com, rosebudus.com/cale,
and in the documentary, To Tulsa And Back.
Donations are not needed but he was a great lover of animals so, if you like,
you can remember him with a donation to your favorite local animal shelter.
It's a crying shame that the great man is poorly represented in karaoke, but I am pleased that Karaoke-Version released "Call me the breeze", myself having repeatedly voted for it and other fantastic J.J. Cale songs previously. I believe Pop Hits Monthly also produced "Ride the river", a duet with Eric Clapton. The music will last forever.
