The greatest funk bassist of all time. He will be missed.

Rest in peace Rocco, a true legend, the master of 16th notes funk basslines!

Your contribution to the bass world will never be forgotten. Rest well and groove on!

First time I heard TOP, I thought who is this on bass, straight to the sleeve to read the personnel. Never Forgotten him since and never will. RIP.

O no, yesterday evening I read in a post from Tower of Power on Facebook that Rocco had moved into a hospice. I am so sad now. R.I.P bass hero.

Hopefully he finally feels better where he landed.

Thank you for so many tight grooves. Thank you for adding one more level of cool to bass.
