Double Ouch! Finnigan from liver cancer on the 11th at 76, and Conte from leukemia, reported August 8.

Didn't hear much of Conte, but Mike was an accomplished keyboard session player, especially on Hammond B3 organ. His sound was prominent in Still Raining, Still Dreaming from Electric Ladyland.

I remember Mike commenting on playing on the song. Rest well, gentleman.

I've been sorry, to hear, see, and read this. They will be missed, and remembered. My condolences, to their family, and friends. R.I.P., Mike, and Bruce.

Tower of Power was an amazing group, I got to see them once in the 70's and they put on a fabulous show.

RIP to both Mike and Bruce. :rose:

Got to see them in the 70s as well. 2nd on the bill between Steven Bishop and Heart in the summer of '77. Likewise, I felt they were excellent.

RIP gentlemen.
