    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

    Open this thread thinking it was about Sheldon Williams who played in the NBA

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