Thanks Ken; always loved Cornell. King Curtis' records wouldn't have been anywhere as good sounding without him.
Loved his funky feel on 'Soul Twist', in particular.

Cornell Dupree wasn't a harmonica player, but he was one of the greatest 
blues musicians to play electric guitar.  -K

 From "Jazz on the Tube:

American R&B/Jazz guitarist Cornell Dupree passed away last night at age 69.

He began his career playing in the Atlantic Records studio band, recording 
on albums by Aretha Franklin and King Curtis as a member of Curtis's band 
"The King Pins". He has reputedly recorded on 2500 sessions with artists 
such as Lena Horne, Archie Shepp, Grover Washington Jr., Snooky Young, and 
Miles Davis.

Let's give this great man the respect that he deserves by taking the time 
to pay him proper tribute through the enjoyment of his music.
