maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted December 5, 2017 Think the death of Bonnie Flower (half of Wendy and Bonnie and almost an original Bangle at one point) has been missed hereabouts. Highest profile in the UK oddly might be the opening seconds of Super Furry Animals' Phanton Power which samples the pair.

I read Nile's autobiography a while back and unfortunately didn't really warm to him, though I guess as he's got his demons behind him he's a different guy now as he comes across as awesome a person as Dave Grohl these days. Still, he'd have been nothing without Bernard Edwards imho and it's a shame Edwards contribution seems to be being diminished somewhat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye S'funny that...I feel the same way about the late great Mike Leander; a record producer with a sense of how the primal and pig simple could become hypnotic. Tragically he honed his winning formula and then hired a jobless wannabe who'd done the rounds for years; how the hell could he know what Gary Glitter was really like?
