Mark Stryker Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) In case folks are not aware, Emmanuel Riggins is the father of the great Detroit-born drummer Karriem Riggins. Karriem had a very difficult week in losing his father just a few days after his mentor Marcus Belgrave died ...

Justin V Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 In case folks are not aware, Emmanuel Riggins is the father of the great Detroit-born drummer Karriem Riggins. Karriem had a very difficult week in losing his father just a few days after his mentor Marcus Belgrave died ... I'm not familiar with Emmanuel Riggins, but Karriem is a wonderful drummer. My condolences to him and the rest of the Riggins family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
