Clarence Reid aka Blowfly, died in January. Barely a peep from the press, not famous enough I guess. If you know him, you know that the Reid/Blowfly split is way deeper than just using the two names. One, the Clarence Reid half, is a fairly straight forward soul/funk singer. Alter ego Blowfly is a candymouthed would-be super hero of undetermined origin. It's hard to reconcile because the Reid stuff really doesn't hint at the Blowfly stuff. Blowfly is entertaining in an oddball eccentric sort of way but impossible to take seriously, while the Reid stuff totally holds up on it's own.
