Talk:Bernie Worrell

Untitled
In the article there is a sentence stating that Bernie was once in a band called Chubby and the Turnpikes, later called The Tavares which has no entry. This should be simply Tavares -- the reference to Chubby (Tavares), the oldest brother, clued me in right away, and yes, the Tavares entry does speak of its beginnings as Chubby and the Turnpikes.

Never mind, I'm new here -- I found out how to change the link and, since it only involved removing the word "The" from The Tavares, I did it myself. -- Misterdoe 05:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

CBS Orchestra Member
It comes up in the Category listing and at the bottom of Bernie's page that he's a member of the CBS Orchestra.

He's not a member of the Orchestra at all. But why is this included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.134.239.230 (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Isn't he a member or wasn't he a member? Some sites say he was something like a founding member at least.Avant-garde a clue- hexa Chord 2  18:43, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Minimoog
I think there's some question regarding the (unsourced internet article) statement that Bernie Worrell received the second Minimoog in production. Moog Music's article on Bernie Worrell and the Minimoog (https://www.moogmusic.com/news/bernie-worrell-minimoog-model-d) does not reference this though the article does state that Bernie procured the second RMI Electra piano (after Stevie Wonder) from a music store in Detroit. Further, the Moog Music article quotes Bootsy Collins stating that George Clinton purchased Worrell's first Minimoog. Worrell's first documented minimoog performance would have been Parliaments's 1975 Mothership Connection album. There is no evidence that he used a Minimoog (via album credits, historical interviews, or recorded audio) as early as its 1970 release. Polyhistor (talk) 07:00, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
