George Duke 1947-2013 From his collaborations with Frank Zappa in the early 70's to his latest offering I will be indulging this evening. George Duke suffered the kind of loss that stops people in their tracks. Duke’s wife Corine passed away in 2012. Sure enough, the loss caused Duke to stop doing what he does best – write produce and record music. But the hiatus didn’t last long. Duke regained his creative flow while on a cruise. Still, the death of his wife influenced some of the output on Duke’s latest record, Dreamweaver. RIP
