Eddie Bo - R.I.P.

Bucket's got a hole in it - a serious hole.

New Orleans giant of funk and soul Eddie Bo passed away March 18th, leaving behind a most impressive list of songs, and a hole in your bucket.

According to Wikipedia, he "released more single records than anyone else in New Orleans other than Fats Domino." In a seriously bumpin' musical town like the Big Easy, that ain't easy. Check your bucket, and when you find the hole, fix it up with this tribute mix compiled from some of Eddie Bo's many 45's, put out by RnB45.com
