Remembering Dave Mason. Music has lost another gem.

40 years ago this week, "That's What Friends Are For" by #DionneAndFriends reached the top spot, replacing "Say You, Say Me" by #LionelRichie after 4 weeks. The friends were #EltonJohn, #StevieWonder, and #GladysKnight. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't recognize her without the Pips. The song raised money for AIDS research. It was originally recorded in 1982 by #RodStewart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyTpu6BmE88 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
