R.I.P. for Mike Ratledge 💫

 


John Etheridge has let it be known that Soft Machine co-founder Mike Ratledge has passed away today. He had such a distinctive and inventive voice as a soloist.

I count myself lucky to have seen him play two times, back in the Seventies.

A brilliant composer, he was also cool as fuck.


His music and unique Fender Rhodes’ sounds will never be forgotten 💫

More important was the sound of his self-modified Wurlitzer organ
