Sad. Was just reading Jimmy Page relating how Shankar wrote down sitar tunings for him - back before even Beatle George had a sitar.

As about an unlikely pop star as there's ever been. RIP :-(

One of those names I feel like I've known forever, even though I've never really listened to him. His jam in Monterey Pop is epic.

got to see him perform twice, the most sublime musical experiences of my life no doubt

i don't know too much beyond an "essential" comp and that Shankar Family & Friends thing he did w/ Harrison in the 70s. Kind of a flawed record, but enjoyable. Is that the only time he really attempted a pop crossover?

I'm a huge fan--got to see him play two years ago. I've undoubtedly posted this elsewhere; 9:56 one of the greatest moments in any film ever.

one night in high school i decided to clandestinely smoke w33d in my room and covered it up by burning some nag champa afterwards.
the next day my dad buys me a ravi shankar cd and slyly tells me that he thinks i'll enjoy it

Man, might need to become a dad just to see what I would hand my kid in said circumstances. Would make a good thread ...

RIP.
Just cued up his recent Symphony (for traditional western orchestra with sitar soloist) which was released by the London Philharmonic Orchestra on their own label this year. It's on Spotify but under the conductor's name; just search 'Shankar symphony and you'll see it. Anouschka Shankar is the soloist.
It's really gorgeous! Will probably buy this. FYI anouschka enters the fray at about 5 minutes into the first movement.

my ex-wife was acquainted with anoushka shankar, she said ravi was a fan of pro wrestling and would be watching pro wrestling when she visited the house
