I read Simon's post this morning but til' now I can't find anything either.
Inside info? For once, I hope Mr. White is wrong :icon_confused:

I hope I'm wrong too, but a message came through via a 'myspace' bulletin from Marva Whitney in the early hours of the 13th.
Her 'myspace' page is here
MySpace.com - Marva Whitney - Kansas City - Funk / Soul / R&B - www.myspace.com/marvawhitney
...there are some condolence messages there.

Indeed Simon, also on this page:
MySpace.com - Soul Power Posse/"Funky"-Leroy Harper - CASTLE HAYNE, North Carolina - Funk / Jazz / Jam Band - www.myspace.com/soulpowerposse
Also the wikipedia page shows 12th september as date of death.

I'm afraid you are right about this. I'll adjust the thread title.
RIP Soulman and thank you for the Music.
Update: it's official on the net but the news seems to be coming in slowly!
