| Yes, sadly I received some news yesterday from a DJ friend that Mel was gravely ill from AIDS. Apparently, it hit him fast and furiously. I thought that didn't happen very much anymore with all of the medicines and treatments. Reminded me so much of how we used to hear such news in the 80s. |

| People, I'm double checking with all my friends in the biz and they all confirm it. I'm sorry but it's true.

| Mel Cheren, one of the founding fathers of Disco has indeed left us. I came home this morning only to be greeted by several somber e-mails from people who knew him telling me of his passing last night. Condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Mel.
