An integral part of the Philadelphia Sound and Leon Huff & Kenny Gamble's Philadelphia International Records, "Mr. Emotion", as he was called, positioned himself as one of the day's most significant musical players working with artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Carl Carlton, Phyllis Hyman, Lou Rawls, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, and Chaka Khan.
Bunny has also fashioned for himself a solid recording career, most recently releasing the critically acclaimed album Bundino in 2015.
We’ll be praying the continuing recovery of this soul music legend, and look forward to hearing more from him soon.
