Damn… My biggest inspiration for piano and probably the reason I play. Wow, what a loss for the world.
Big C keeps taking all these legends. One day humanity will defeat it, and spare the world these tragedies.
Return to Forever my friend! I hope I get to meet you in the next gig.

Rest in power. I was actually just listening to “Soceress” from Romantic Warrior the other night and marvelling at Chick’s synth/keys work on that track.

The family’s post included a farewell message from Corea to his friends, fans and fellow musicians.
“I want to thank all of those along my journey who have helped keep the music fires burning bright,” he wrote. “It is my hope that those who have an inkling to play, write, perform or otherwise, do so. If not for yourself then for the rest of us. It’s not only that the world needs more artists, it’s also just a lot of fun.”
