  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, Bosie Edwards was no 
ordinary man, he was multi-talented, seriously focused and good at 
practically everything that he did. I have known him for many years 
because he was always intimately connected and actively engaged in the 
community. He was an excellent social worker and was recognized as one 
of the top gang intervention and youth violence prevention specialists 
in the city. Of course that was only one aspect of his being. When it 
came to music he was top of the line, a maestro, a band leader, a 
choreographer, a smooth jazz, rhythm and blues music man, gentleman of 
leisure, and the top band in town. I have heard them many, many times 
and never got enough.
  Finally Bosie has been a regular on cable television with his own 
very interesting show which has been watched religiously by thousands 
of individual on a regular basis.
  Yes, Bosie Edwards made a great impact on the lives of those who knew 
and/or came into contact with him.
  I extend condolences to his family, friends and all who knew and 
loved him.
