"Goodbye, Dear Friend!"" We will always love you & your music, Kashif!! You are DEFINITELY a great inspiration to this former foster child! You are proof that the stereotype isn't true!! Many fosterkids were raised to become great citizens of society! Continue RIHP, Mr. Music Maestro of Soul!! 💘
Lashing used to come back to our community of Bed-Stuy Brooklyn and teach a lot of young ones about the business of music and knowing our instruments. I thank Derrick who was the Manager for Platinum Studio in Restoration Plaza for setting up those seminars. RIP Kashif. Thank you for sharing your gift , talent and information. You were , and always be an inspiration to me .
I was listening to his music last week when I saw the article that he passed last year. I named my son after him, he was born in his era and his music got me through a rough stage of being a single parent to my 1st born who carries his name. My heart is broken but his music will live on in everyone's heart. Until we all met again- RIP musical genius.
Yes....all the abuse he suffered...orphaned in childhood...seems to enhance creativity .....most people are not self made like this ...they marry or inherited....or are understandably funded by family in childhood only to loose it to mostly to wife ..house and kids.....FEW PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT THEY WERE BORN TO DO IN THIS WORLD...ACTUALLY FOLLOW THEIR TRUE LIFES PURPOSE...DO THE JOB THAT UTILISES THEIR BORN GIFTS.....AND SUCCEED BIG. HIS PURPOSE WAS DONE HERE FULLY. CHANGED A LOT OF LIVES...STARTING WITH HIS OWN.
Kashif was a huge musical force in my life growing up. He, Lilo Thomas, Paul Lawrence, Freddie Jackson had their own little click thing going and they were doing it in the 1980's and early 1990's.
KASHIF,KASHIF... UR SOUNDS WERE CUSTOM MADE FOR A DECADE SO SPECIAL LIKE THE 80s. BESIDE PRODUCING GREAT HITS FOR OTHER ARTIST, GOD BLESS THIS BROTHER !
When my friend passed, I felt that. She'd had a stroke and was in the hospital. I was walking down the street on my block just got something to eat when suddenly felt like something inside tore away and I knew she was gone. Good bye good friend. I miss you still, even if I know you're in a better place. Rest In Peace.
Wow I hadn't heard not no one of his passing it's a shame because he was one of the most talented people and most influential people in the music industry in the 80's
I was deeply saddened by the passing of Kashif. I've loved hs music and was a fan. Thank you fit sharing you gift of music and live Brother Kashif! I'm a huge fan of Howard Hewett as well. His voice is so smooth and soulful
I got acquainted with him after his Unsung...episode all I can say is I am sorry I didn't have more time to get to know him. He seemed like a very nice person to know. A beautiful man, Kashif music lives on.
This was absolutely beautiful! I adored Kasif’s music. He was a great artist & producer. His death was a shock. I learned of it on Unsung weeks after he passed away. Thx so much Howard for the lovely vocals!
Carla Linton. May Mr. Kashifs Soul R. I. P. In Heaven With The Good Lord Jesus Christ. gone. But not forgotten. His music 🎼🎶 still lives on in my heart.
Wow. Such a beautiful song. I love kashif’s music. See you again on the other side. ❤️💐🙏🏽🕊️❤️💐🕊️🙏🏽💐🌹🕊️🙏🏽❤️💐🌹🙏🏽🌹💐❤️🌷🌹💐❤️💐🌷🕊️🌹💐❤️🌷🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Damn. 😔 I’m just finding out March 28, 2020, that this cool brother passed few years back. Damn!!!!!😔 Blessings to you brother, and may The Lord Most High keep you in his arms. Peace and Blessings from the Magi Hypnotist in the East.😔❤️🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️🙏🏾
Its Dec 2017 and I didn't know he'd died...his music was a great influence on me in the 80's......how sad, music isn't the same anymore, no 'soul'.....
grand fan de funk je suis très triste de la mort de Kashif, Jai eu la chance de le voir et de lui parler en France pour un concert au dashake Courtrai Belgique. Nous sommes nombreux et nombreuses en France en particulier dans le nord a être triste de cette perte. repose en paix Kashif
Some people are appointed to sing others are chosen to sing. Howard falls in the last category. The chosen are called by God , but when you are appointed there is someone always trying to get in your hip pocket. If you agree say Amen.❤❤❤❤❤
Awww so sad. I heard he was a good guy. I found out an attorney which I'm aquatinted with ( Kendall Minter) was Kashif's really good friend. He was really hurt and misses his friend. RIP Sir. Howard Hewett shows up for everyone...more recently the Debarge family as they have just lost their brother Tommy. Lord bless these families
Kashif was BAD! A brilliant musician, writer, producer and singer. Additionally, an instructor for those aspiring to the profession of the recording arts. His sound was distinctly unique when you heard the song you knew it was in some way touched... by Kashif. Sorry to say good bye, but know your missed.
Shelia Whetstone I guess as we get older , we will be seeing more of this . Sadly it's the evolution of life . Our grandparents went through it and so dad our parents .. all seeing their fav artist pass-away. But hey .. we still have George benson , James Ingram , cameo did a 30th of word up.... we have to celebrate the life of the ones leaving and the ones that have passed away
What is this strange liquid substance leaking from my eyes? Most peculiar... Yeah its April 2018 and I'm just finding out myself as well family.That's Right I said FAMILY. Cause if we all came up on Kashif"s music then we HAVE to at least be more than mere strangers! Soul Music has always United us from the inside out! I guarantee I can see anyone of you somwhere out there in a public place and let one of Kashif"s songs come on jack..maaaan we would talk for who knows how long as if we",ve known eachother all our lives! Other people may not understand this aspect about us (especially when all they see on the tube is us murdering one another) so in their mibd,they can't understand.that about us but maybe they weren't meant to. that's OK..WE Understand right? Yes things have changed.radio used to give us that good soul music buffet style..all we can absorb,feel,and love..now? Well,I'll say this...the Soulful Groove is still out there. We just have to hunt for it ourselves..I'm alright with that. How bout you? Brother Kashif.Thank You for your gift you gave us!! I'll always Celebrate you through the vibration.. Til the the other side Brother. The Soul Live On!!
An immensely talented person. He survived a tragic challenging childhood to become a beloved successful singer producer and songwriter. I wonder what the cause of death was. RIP
damn what is the heck is going on with these stars dying and your own hood you grew up in all of them is dying I didn't know kashif died may all of them RIP
Yeeeeeess I was shocked when we lost Maurice White of The group EWF.....R.i.p. to all the entertainers we lost in 2000 to 2018....no disrespect to the others before 2000....it seem like alot was dying when 2000 and so on came....OMG... What are we gonna do...the new entertainers don't know what music ....real music sounds like...
*WHEN PEOPLE JUST CROSS YOUR MIND, THAT'S JESUS TELLING YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM. RIP I KNOW YOUR NAME IS MUSLIM, BUT I HOPE YOU FOUND JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN... I LOVE YOU. LOVE YOU💔💔💔*

Very touching he was an awesome artist, producer entertainer.....It was a great era❤
I named my first son after him too.
Rip kashif your music was great a salut to this great musician and the Sweet 80s🌷❤️
Kashif was a self-made man. It's amazing what he accomplished in music despite all the odds that were stacked against him.
Yes....all the abuse he suffered...orphaned in childhood...seems to enhance creativity .....most people are not self made like this ...they marry or inherited....or are understandably funded by family in childhood only to loose it to mostly to wife ..house and kids.....FEW PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT THEY WERE BORN TO DO IN THIS WORLD...ACTUALLY FOLLOW THEIR TRUE LIFES PURPOSE...DO THE JOB THAT UTILISES THEIR BORN GIFTS.....AND SUCCEED BIG.
