George Duke remains one of my top 10 musicians of all time!!!! I was blessed to see him in concert a number of times back in the day and they were AMAZING!!! R.I.P.
I am so heartbroken on the loss of this remarkable musician..... Ther will never be another.. like you...We are so blessed to have had you to grace us with your smooth sounds.....I miss ya I miss ya I miss ya George!!!
My heart is absolutely saddened by his passing. He was my favourite electronic keyboard player ever. His soulful touch, amazing rhythm, talented fingers and love of music was a passion you could feel from every album and appearance. The soul/funk music world, the jazz music world, the Brazilian music world... have lost a true artiste in every word. I'm so pleased that this personal, meaningful DreamWeaver completes his magical journey. May God bless his soul... the maestro is dead.
Another Pianist passed away this year. Gone to Soon. Love you my brother, I've became a dedicated fan of yours over the years in my manhood and still today. Many fans and musicians will celebrate the life of George Duke. My heart is heavy now but I know that you're in a better place with Almighty and your wife Corinne. What a beautiful spirit. Rest in Peace.
I have 29 albums by George. This his final album will make my collection complete. You will never be forgotten as long as there is an ear to hear the magic of the spells you wove together as "THE DREAMWEAVER" We love you.

I can't describe how influential George Duke has been on me as a musician and music lover. His broad range of styles, his incredible voice, those fusion records with Stanley Clarke and Billy Cobham. This man is THE most talented player ever ! When I heard of his passing, I cried ! A musicians musician who will be greatly missed. What a talent ! Rest In Peace My Brother !
These words really resonate with me. Since the 70s George Duke has been in my tool kit for life. I listen to his music nearly every week. RIP George Duke
George . . . . . What else can I say to someone who truly inspired my keyboard playing throughout my years and creating music in general. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Peace Love you man. . . . . .
Al I concur (totally agree) he is, was, and will always be my musical hero/influence I have tears rolling down my face I truly miss him and I know that I will c him again on the other side. In the meantime I'm gonna continue to keep his legacy alive.
As I’m a keyboardist myself, Mr. George Duke (R.I.P.) is one of my great heros in music. Now after loosing his wife last year, he is gone also. I was very shocked when I read that so sad news. We will remeber You forever, as I saw You with your Band last time in 2011 in Leverkusen at the Jazzdays! Rest in peace, maybe now You play the keyboards in heaven like they had sounded on earth for so many years .... Thank You!!!!!
Thank You Mr. Duke, I grew up with your melodies, from the time I was a teenager. I attest that you are one of the all time greats, and you will truly be missed. GOD has joined you and your wife once more, this time for eternity. I will make it a point to pass your genius to my grandchildren. A true fan.
George,you can leave us with all this beautiful music as the Lord has called you up to play glorious synth.We will see you on the other side,and pray you fly by once in a while to see how we are coping with your loss .Forever in our hearts,George,journey on........Slow.....
Mr Duke you'll always be THE MAN. Your musical expertise as a pianist, producer and musical director know no bounds. Thank you for the music and you will be sorely missed. May you and your wife connie rest in eternal peace.
I completely grew up listening to and studying to be just a pinch as musically creative as George Duke. George was my absolute inspiration for being a keyboardist and musician. I loved the way he crossed all genres, blending, nuancing, segueing... such a smooth, cool, absolutely creative human being. Such a gift that he shared with everyone. And that voice... just beautiful. George, you will be so missed yet, you've blessed us with an amazing repertoire of music with at least a song for everyone
George Duke was so wonderful.He made it clear how much he loved and missed his wife.Together again in Heaven.Will miss and always love you Sir. George Duke.Play that music in Heaven!!!
Rest in peace in the arms of your "sweet baby" Corine...you were a master, a beautiful soul and an inspiration for so many. Thank you for all the music you blessed us with...we celebrate and honor you. A true Dream Weaver...
Devastated....this hurts just as much as when Phyllis Hyman passed! He touched my soul at every show, listening to every cd....lasting memory...my favorite cousin and I doing the worm at Blues Alley while George signed our copy of his cd! Priceless....RIP Mr. George Duke!
Thank you George for all of the great music over the years. There is a special place in heaven for people like you. God Bless your family. You will be missed.
I really wish these artists would take note...I was so hurt when I heard the news this morning. I grew up listening to his music during my formative years and I'm only 23. RIP George Duke
I have all of his albums from the 1990s until now. I saw him in Chitown at the China Club years ago. Im glad he is back with his wife. RIP George Duke.
George Duke had SO MANY outstanding musical accomplishments throughout the course of his lifetime........he was truly blessed with a gift that he shared with the world for DECADES.......I enjoyed his music tremendously, and will cherish his memory.
Thoroughly enjoyed dinner with our friend George on that cruise. Missing Corine. This is a fitting tribute to a wonderful lady by a superb musical mind. Thanks for sharing your great talent, George.
I was just listening to "No Rhyme No Reason" and that's what brought me here. You are an inspiration to me George and you will be forever sorely missed. Rest well in God's loving embrace my friend.
My wife and I went on The 2012 Capital Jazz Supercruise and George Duke performed and he ripe-it , he was all over the ship taking pics hanging out and talking to everybody. It was a great show especially when he and Stanley Clarke jammed together & did The motherShip Connection. George RIP
I first discovered George Duke while playing in my High School Jazz Band during 1977. Although I played saxophone, I quickly appreciated his writing, vocal and keyboard skills. I can honestly say that along with Ronnie Laws, Hubert Laws and Grover Washington, Jr. they all formed the musical tastes that I have today some 35 years later. RIP
Miss you Sir George Duke of music, God truly has a wonderful man with him as of many others, see you in the future! Thanks for all of your music and love you put upon us!!!!!
I'm so sorry for your loss of your wife. May your memories of her continue to inspire your beautiful music. Your music has helped us to escape to another place in our minds, heart and soul. Thank you for creating such amazing music for many years for us to enjoy. There are few people that comes in your path of life that you can learn from their experiences.
JUST LOOKING AT & READING ALL THE COMMENTS ALREADY LEFT I CAN ONLY CONCUR TO SAY I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT IN THE ART OF HIS CRAFT & PASSION! I JUST DO NOT THINK YOU EVER REALLY RECEIVED THE RECOGNITION OF YOUR TALENT MASTER MUSICIAN & SINGER. THANKS FOR LEAVING US A WONDERFUL FEEL OF MOSAIC OF MUSIC FUSION AND SONG! I LOVE YOUR EXCITING ENERGY OF GUMBO R.I.P GEORGE
Huge Huge fan of this man, his skills as a keyboardist is like no other-he was in a class by himself. Uncanny. Masterful. Disciplined. I literally grew up on his music and he taught me a lot about how to successfully produce a voice of your own musically. And as a person he was such a kind, gentle soul who made himself accessible whenever possible. He will be sorely missed in jazz and music, in general.
Thank you, God for big Daddy Duke! Thank you for years and years of wonderful creative music that transcended all types of music. Thank you for the legacy of greatness left behind for others to learn from and be made better by. R.I.P
I've seen Mr. Duke on quite a few occasions and had the pleasure of conversing with him twice(Kimball's), very approachable and down to earth, I remember seeing him in Concord and George was on stage clowning about how much he adored and loved his keyboard,had the audience cracking up and that's how he made you feel at his shows, he made you feel like you were family even at a forum as such,My hat is tipped to this musical giant,may his spirit and music live always,today is not a good day : (
you set a POSITIVE example. hopefully, many others will continue where you left off. thank you for your musical legacy. now, you & your wife are once again together, and making beautiful music in heaven.
I'm still trying to process his loss. You think some artists will be around forever and don't really appreciate them until a time like this. George was one of my favorite musicians and a major influnence on my music. Rest in peace my brother.
You are right about that! The good music with meaning and life and the musicians that were so filled with talent, raw talent, are all about gone! It is very sad, but thank God we can hold onto something good and purposeful like the music of the Master, George Duke! You will be missed! He left us a lifetime of memories when life and music made you feel good! RIP! Sheer Genius.... never to be duplicated!!!!
I attended the Jazz Playboy festival this past Summer @ the Hollywood Bowl, George raised the Roof off as usual, Doing what he did best! Entertaining his fans and collaborating, Touching making great music with the other Artist he played with! Jazz won't quite be the same without you George... I know that he's up there playing for those heavenly angels up above now!
George Duke's harmonies make you float above earth while his funky stuff keeps you firmly on the ground. What a combination of talent, emotion and study! Josie, you were one of the singers in a UA-cam clip of Duke and fellow musicians rehearsing in a studio some years ago. Luckily I was sitting down when I first saw you because, standing, my knees would have given way. Later in the clip, George brought you nearer the camera; the reason, as he said, to let us see your one-in-a-billion beauty.
He's the reason I play Keys Now. His spirit is in every note he played. I feel like a Family member has Gone but not far away. Ive bought many boards Based on his recommendation or endorsement He's in all of us who shared in his Musicality. God bless His Family.
George Duke remains one of my top 10 musicians of all time!!!! I was blessed to see him in concert a number of times back in the day and they were AMAZING!!! R.I.P.

I'm missing you, George Duke..
George Duke's harmonies make you float above earth while his funky stuff keeps you firmly on the ground. What a combination of talent, emotion and study!
Josie, you were one of the singers in a UA-cam clip of Duke and fellow musicians rehearsing in a studio some years ago. Luckily I was sitting down when I first saw you because, standing, my knees would have given way. Later in the clip, George brought you nearer the camera; the reason, as he said, to let us see your one-in-a-billion beauty.
Thanks for your gift. Rest easy Genius.
Some of the vibration stopped when George died last year. RIP, such an inspiration.
Well spoken
