Dave Mason, 79. Traffic Co-founder

K

He was probably better known as a songwriter and singer in his own right, with We Just Disagree, Feeling Alright, and Only You Know and I Know.

Cause of death not given, but he'd been in poor health for some time. RIP, Dave. 🥲

With Mason's passing, I believe that Steve Winwood is the only member of the late 1960s/early 1970s group Traffic who is still alive.
 
From Steve Winwood's Facebook:

“We were deeply saddened to hear of Dave Mason’s passing.
Dave was part of Traffic during its earliest chapter, and played an important role in shaping the band’s sound and identity during that time. His songwriting, musicianship and distinctive spirit helped create music that has lasted far beyond its era, and continues to mean so much to listeners around the world.
Those years remain a special part of the band’s story, and Dave’s contribution to them is not forgotten. His place in that history will always be remembered, and through the music, his presence endures.
At this sad time, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and all those who loved him and his music.” -SW
 
Grew up hearing “We Just Disagree” all the time when my brother and I would listen to KLTH in KC. Always liked that song & his Traffic stuff. RIP.
