RIP
I grew up listening to his music. The virus got him in Paris apparently. 'Soul Mokassa' sampled by loads of people, including Michel Jackson.

Wasn't it the inspiration behind Isaac Hayes' theme from Shaft? Good innings, though, he was 86.

Spent his childhood in a small town (St. Calais) which I pass through often these days.
