Reggie Dennis’ mother knew he had a gift for music from a young age.
When Reggie was a toddler, Theresa Dennis had to keep her son from flipping through the vinyl records she kept in the house: Earth, Wind & Fire, Rick James, Funkadelic.
And when she finally put them on, 5-year-old Reggie could pick out pieces of the songs that Theresa had never noticed herself.
“He would hear all of the instruments and recognize them,” she said. “He would hear things that I didn’t hear, that ordinary people didn’t hear.”
Reggie Dennis was many things over the course of his life in Charlotte: an artist, a mentor, a bandmate, a friend.
But first and foremost, Dennis was a lover of music. It was the thread running through the course of his life, what he lived and breathed.
“It was his life’s ambition,” said Letron Brantley, leader and saxophone player for Jazz Revolution, the band for which Dennis played bass guitar. “All he wanted to do was play.”
Reginald “Reggie” Lee Dennis died Feb. 3, 2022 at his home in Charlotte. He was 52. He is survived by his mother as well as several friends and family members.
My comment: No mention of cause of death.
