Maurice White (December 19, 1941 – February 3, 2016)

NEW YORK (AP) – Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice 
White, whose horn-driven band sold more than 90 million
albums and made hits like "September," ”Shining Star"
and "Boogie Wonderland," died Wednesday at his home
in Los Angeles.

White, who was 74, suffered from Parkinson’s Disease
and had retreated from the public even as the band he
founded kept performing.

Paul Lorin Kantner (March 17, 1941 – January 28, 2016)

Paul Kantner, one of the giants of the San Francisco music scene, died Thursday.

Kantner, a founding member of the Jefferson Airplane, had suffered a heart attack
this week.

His death was confirmed by longtime publicist and friend, Cynthia Bowman, who
said he died of multiple organ failure and septic shock.

Paul Kanter was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with other band
members in 1996.
