Les McCann, Jazz Pianist and Singer, Dies at 88
Briefly

While bands like Massive Attack, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and H2O included portions of his tracks in their own, McCann's pulse imprinted most effortlessly and noticeably on the hip-hop scene.
Born in Lexington, Kentucky in 1935, McCann was raised by a churchgoing family that quickly steered his direction in life, as he took up singing in church choirs with his siblings.
