Sheeeeet... that fool still owes me money.

RIP

 

[Scout]

What an amazing scene, and Franklin was a natural actress.

 

[Huggy]

One of the great blues guitarists of his time, played on loads of great sides with James Cotton

 

[Steak Snabler]

RIP to perhaps the worst actor of all-time.

Aw, shut up woman!

 

[Deskgrunt50]

The main guy who helped turn a sound from goat **** into gasoline. RIP.

Gotta be honest. I presumed he had taken his skills to the next world years ago.

Gone to the big stage covered in chicken wire in the sky.

 

[expendable]

Guess that mean pepper steak in Joliet finally did him in.

 

[BartonK]

Wow, he was 50 when he filmed that scene. Most 50-year-olds in the late '70s looked like 65-year-olds do now.

Didn't realize he was that old. RIP and hope you're up there jamming with Donald "Duck" Dunn.
