The Blue Boards / Main Forums / General R&B; Chat / Ruth Brown has died
Regret that reports are coming in that Ruth Brown passed away yesterday (Friday).  It's very sad to lose such an instigator of this fabulous music.

It is indeed sad news - it's inevitable that more and more of these great innovators will be leaving us givenpassing of the years

You can read about Ruth all over the web (including the artist bio on this site)

Let's not forget that there is still great R&B, blues and soul music being made today - Just recently, we've had James Hunter (see separate thread), Eric Bibb, Keb' Mo', albums from Solomon Burke, Bobby Purify, Sam Moore, Robert Randolph (although last album a bit of a disappiointment) and straight blues releases too numerous to mention. It's still there if you go looking
