Keith Wilder, R. I. P.

Boing Boing: Keith Wilder, singer for 70s funk powerhouse Heatwave, died on Sunday at age 65. "From Heatwave is your heart," Wilder once said. "If your music is where your heart is, and you put your whole heart into, it will come out the way your heart is as a person and a human being... We kept our music in a vein that also was a pure, clear picture and representation of what we were like, and what we were about. And we kept our music that way... We just kept it real and kept it pure."
