The Whitney Houston has not been the only serious loss that has been in the last days the world of music. Michael Davis, MC5 bassist known to have been considered one of the pioneers of the punk scene, died last Friday at age 68 after suffering a long (and terrible) disease.
Born June 43, the musician won the attention of the media after being signed by MC5 in 1964 as subtituto Pat Barrows, an original member of the legendary band. Davis recorded three albums with the group, one of them was the legendary "Kick Out The Jams", and finally leave the formation at 72. Besides his work with MC5 bassist was a member of Blood Orange, Rich Hopkins and Luminaries and launched a project in 2006 - "The Music Is Revolution" - to promote his wife of music education in public schools.
The punk world has lost one of those figures that marked an important precedent in the musical culture that we met today. Unfortunately we are left with the desire to enjoy the production that he and Sonny Vincent were going to record soon in Belgium.
