Wayman Tisdale, a smooth-jazz bassist and former NBA star, died this morning of bone cancer... a few weeks shy of his 45th birthday.The USAToday.com obituary is here.
I never got into his music. But I want to honor Mr. Tisdale’s passing by streaming a track off his 2008 CD, “Rebound.”
To hear his cover of Barry White’s “Never Never Gonna Give Ya Up” – featuring country crooner Toby Keith on vocals! – click here.
Man, that's really tragic. He had a long, sad struggle toward the end. I'd only heard about the accident that cost him his leg. No idea he had cancer.
ReplyDeleteBarry White cover w/ Toby Keith? That's diggin' in the crates. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA sad day for Sacramento Kings fans. Not only was he a good player, he was a good man. He'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteHello there!
ReplyDeleteThat is just sooo sad.
I had no idea....
Prayers for his family. Sad indeed.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he had cancer either. R.I.P....
ReplyDelete...But I must say, Wayman Tisdale, with a cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up" with Toby Keith on vocals? I gotta put that in the "how the hell that happened" column.
