Bunny Wailer
April 10, 1947 – March 2, 2021
The last surviving original member of Bob Marley’s Wailers, Bunny Wailer, has succumbed to a stroke. Born Neville Livingston in Kingston, Jamaica, the singer, writer and percussionist won three Grammys during his 73-year lifetime.
Rupert Neve
July 31, 1926 – February 12, 2021
Once referred to as the Steve Jobs of the audio world, British-born Rupert Neve had an illustrious career, and yet the inventor of the Neve recording console remained an unsung hero of the industry. 94 years old at the time of his death due to pneumonia and heart failure, Neve’s contribution to music was monumental.
Elliot Mazer
September 6, 1941 – February 7, 2021
The long serving producer of Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Santana and the Band among others has died of a heart attack at his home in San Francisco at the age of 79. Young called the native New Yorker a “master in the studio”, adding that his 1972 album Harvest “happened because of Elliot Mazer”.
