    Sheldon Reynolds (title change requested) Guitarist for the Commodores and Earth Wind and Fire...his work with EWF was legendary...died at 63..when Maurice White was battling throat cancer Sheldon sang a lot of his parts...great, great R&B funk guitarist...spent many hours learning licks to "That's the way of the world" and other EWF hits. Last live concert I saw was EWF with Chicago at Mathew Knight Arena...birthday gift from my son...still have the Maurice White memorial T shirt from that gig. Al McKay was another in a line of EWF guitarists....Sheldon played with them from 87-2002...he toured through Eugene years ago with his own band and played the WOW Hall.....I missed that show unfortunately

    I didn't say it to be snarky (I didn't know his name was incorrect).
