R.I.P. Terry Callier

Chicago Born singer and songwriter Terry Callier has sadly passed aged only 67.
Terry Callier was best known for his fusion of jazz, soul and folk music which gave him such a unique sound.

Terry Callier's 50-year career began when he signed to Chess Records in 1962, aged just 17. Leaving behind the doo-wop sound of his teenage years, his most famous trio of albums – 1972's 'Occasional Rain', 1973's 'What Color Is Love' and 1974's 'I Just Can't Help Myself' exemplified the hybrid of funk, soul and jazz that he created.

His funeral will take place on 3 November in his home city and a memorial is planned for London. The date is yet to be announced.
