Dick Griffey, the founder of the Solar record label — known for bringing a funky, laid back, California sound to soul, R&B and disco in the ’70s and ’80s — died on Sept. 24 in Los Angeles. He was 71.
The cause was complications of quadruple bypass surgery, his daughter Regina Griffey Hughes said.
…
Besides his daughter Regina, Mr. Griffey is survived by his wife, Carrie Lucas, a singer whom he married in 1974; another daughter, Carolyn Griffey; two sons, Lucas and Che; five grandchildren, and Haile Williams, whom he took in as a teenager and raised as his son.
