被稱為“Baby Gap”的安東尼·沃克于3月4日去世,享年60歲,他是傳奇放克樂隊Gap樂隊的前成員,也是一名舞蹈家和編舞家。

TMZ, who first reported Walker's death, said that he died from "complications from a neck surgery." Walker had been performing with the group GapX, comprised of former Gap Band members, and the group acknowledged his death in an Instagram post.
最早報道沃克死訊的TMZ網(wǎng)站稱,他死于“頸部手術(shù)并發(fā)癥”。沃克一直在與Gap樂隊前成員組成的GapX樂隊一起表演,該樂隊在Instagram上發(fā)布了他的死訊。

"The Band will miss our friend, brother, and band mate Anthony 'Baby Gap' Walker," the post read. "Gone too soon. We will never forget you!!!"
“樂隊會想念我們的朋友、兄弟和樂隊成員安東尼·‘小Gap’沃克,”帖子寫道。“走得太快了。我們永遠不會忘記你!!”

The Gap Band was formed in 1967 in Tulsa with brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson at its center. The group, however, didn't take off until signing with Mercury Records in 1979. That same year, Anthony Walker, hailing from Chicago, joined The Gap Band as a dancer and choreographer, and eventually contributing as a songwriter. He performed and toured with the group for 23 years.
Gap樂隊于1967年在塔爾薩成立,由查理、羅尼和羅伯特·威爾遜三兄弟組成。然而,直到1979年與水星唱片公司簽約,樂隊才開始走紅。同年,來自芝加哥的安東尼·沃克(Anthony Walker)加入了Gap樂隊,擔(dān)任舞者和編舞,并最終成為歌曲作者。他隨樂隊演出和巡演了23年。

Walker co-wrote two tracks on the group's 1985 album The Gap Band V, "Automatic Brain" and "L'il Red Funkin' Hood." Also in 1985, Gap Band lead singer Charlie Wilson produced an album with Walker and fellow band member Billy Young, Billy & Baby Gap, which produced the hit "Rock the Nation."
沃克在樂隊1985年的專輯《the Gap Band V》中參與創(chuàng)作了兩首歌曲:《自動大腦》(Automatic Brain)和《L'il Red Funkin' Hood》。同樣是在1985年,Gap樂隊主唱查理·威爾遜與沃克和樂隊成員比利·楊,比利和嬰兒蓋普一起制作了一張專輯,這張專輯制作了熱門歌曲《搖滾國家》。

As a dancer, Walker formed the award-winning breakdancing group Tidal Wave in the 1970s, and taught breakdancing and moonwalking in the early '80s at John Travolta’s dance studio. Walker also worked as a choreographer for Disney.
作為一名舞者,沃克在20世紀(jì)70年代組建了屢獲殊榮的霹靂舞組合潮汐波,并在80年代初在約翰·特拉沃爾塔的舞蹈工作室教授霹靂舞和太空步。沃克還擔(dān)任過迪士尼的舞蹈指導(dǎo)。

Besides The Gap Band, Walker collaborated with artists such as Rick James, George Clinton, and Pebbles, and played percussion on Snoop Dogg's 1996 single “Snoop's Upside Ya Head." In his later years, Walker performed with former members of The Gap Band in GapX as a dancer, hype-man, and rapper.
