Carousel by The Commodores
The Commodores@thecommodores Today we mourn the loss of our brother, friend, and original bassist, Ronald LaPread. Ronald was a phenomenal musician, an accomplished songwriter, and a vital part of The Commodores’ sound and success. His contributions to our music and his friendship enriched our lives beyond measure. We were grateful to perform with him again last fall in New Zealand. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Farideh, his children Mark, Ronald Jr. and Soraya, and all who loved him. His legacy lives on through the music he helped create and the countless people he inspired. Rest easy, Ronald. You will always be a Commodore. — The Commodores
