Obituaries: Legendary Drummer James Gadson, Montreal Gazette Music Critic John Griffin

This week we also acknowledge the passing of former E Street Band singer and violinist Suki Lahav.

John Griffin, former music and film critic at The Montreal Gazette, died on March 21, at age 76.

Griffin was born in Montreal and, in 1964, his family moved to England, where he attended college in Berkshire. They returned to Montreal in 1967 after Griffin and his three sisters had been exposed to the Swinging Sixties in England, including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
