Funk Mafia
27th march 2008
Funk Mafia DJ.Froggy b. 1954, United Kingdom. d. March 2008, United Kingdom. The 'Mafia' Soul deejay, Froggy has passed away. He died from a brain haemorrage. At this point in time, details are very scarce, although I have received confirmation from a site visitor who signed the guestbook at the website, along with reports arriving via Peter Young at Smooth FM and Ralph Tee at Expansion Records in the U.K. If any site visitor has any further details, certainly regarding where Froggy passed away, and his place and date of birth, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. To the U.S. site visitor, unless you are a Soul artist whose heyday arrived during the Seventies and Eighties (and toured the U.K.), Froggy's name won't mean that much to you. To the U.K. punter (especially the London based Soul fan) Froggy's deejay mixing talents became part of the rich tapestry of the U.K.'s Soul heritage. Froggy was one of the first deejays that laid the artistic foundations regarding the careers of many budding deejay superstars from the late Eighties and early Nineties. He was one of the first deejays to take his show on the road, supporting the likes of Robbie Vincent, Chris Hill and much of the Kent Soul Deejay Mafia. The man would seamlessly weave one dancer into another and singlehandedly turned that act into a piece of art. Froggy appeared several times on Robbie Vincent's legendary Radio London Soul Show back in the day and was still very busy on the deejay circuit in recent times. He will certainly be missed immensely by many a Soul colleague out there. Another piece of the U.K. Soul jigsaw goes missing, sadly at the prematurely youthful age of 54.
