Grover Washington Jr. (Dec. 12, 1943 Dec. 17, 1999) was an American jazz-funk/soul-jazz saxophonist and he is considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of the smooth jazz genre.

On December 17, 1999, while waiting in the green room after taping four songs for the The Early Show at CBS Studios in New York City, Washington collapsed. He was taken to St. Luke's - Roosevelt Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 7:30 p.m. He was 56 years old. His doctors determined that he had suffered a massive heart attack.

@NyulaRaeGlamour He is a legend. One of the best saxophonists of our time. You should check out some his work. One good thing about it is he did leave us with a rather large library of funky to really jazzy musical treasures. R.I.P Grover!!
