One of my former co-workers while at Warner Bros. Records, Kirkland Burke does a wonderful job updating those of us in the Black Music industry the news of those who might have passed on, yet not received the mainstream notoriety others may have.
Although the news has been dominated with tributes (and rightly so) to Etta James, I was saddened to read about the passing of Henry Davis of L.T.D.
Last June, I had the privilege and honor to speak to Henry and the other members of L.T.D. as they further prepared for a new music tour.
Below you will find possibly one of the last audio conversations of Davis, reflecting on the formation, importance and lasting impact of L.T.D. and his tremendous role in its legacy.

Just learned of Henry Daviis of LTD death several hours ago. I was planning to see him this year after being told that he was in Ladera Higts. My condolences to the family!
"TETT LOVES HENRY DAVIS, and always will. He had the kinda spirit that warms you when your cold and cools you when it's hot. Instead of grieving his death, we celebrate the blessing to have known him. You know, that man used to make the best cheese sandwiches with his clothes iron when we were on the road together…WE LOVE YOU HENRY!"……inaminute.
Henry is and always will be the man !
