The "which famous person died today" thread

I had all the singles in 89 on 12" and 3 feet high and rising.

Great tunes and still sound good today.

I kinda went reverse. Expected 3 feet high to be shit pressing ( it was) so got cd. Pretty sure I have nearly all their stuff on vinyl/cd/cd single. My pride and joy are the US 12s of Jenifa and Say no go. Got the vinyl me please copy of 3 feet a year or so back and have magenta release coming in March. Technically, I probably downgraded my turntable in November to a Technics Mk7 but it's been so much fun spinning vinyl I know it was the right call. I really enjoyed spinning a Trugoy tribute this afternoon. De La Soul were rap/hip hop legends but almost transcended the genre.
