If you want to hear some great lines, check out "Mind's Eye" by DC Talk. This guy played on tons of stuff. I'm sure we'll see a proper obit soon.

That is a great loss.

He played on some great songs and his bass line were awesome.

Even more than how great a bass player Jackie was, he was an even better person! I only met Jackie once or twice in my life, but have heard many stories. He and my dad were close friends and were roommates while traveling with the band "Eternity" some years ago. Despite that fact that I didnt personally know him well, when I bought my first couple of basses and/or any other gear, I was always able to call Jackie up and ask for advice. He would talk just as if we knew each other well. I always appreciated his words.

He will be dearly missed.

It is really sad to know that I have only heard of someone who accomplished as much as Mr. Street after his death. May he rest in peace.

It is especially humbling to know that he about my age and has passed away already since today is my birthday. The older I get, the more precious I can see life is.
