R.I.P T-Bone Wolk

Hall & Oates bassist T-Bone Wolk died Saturday of an apparent heart attack. Over a three-decade-plus career, Wolk also played with Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Rosanne Cash, Bette Midler, Cyndi Lauper, Jewel, on Kurtis Blow’s “These Are the Breaks,” and as part of Saturday Night Live’s house band. Thanks to that varied résumé and his trademark porkpie hat, Wolk is also known as one of the eighties’ most recognizable music video “that guy”s. He was 58 years old. [Billboard]
