Rocco was such a great bassist, and very, very influential. He had serious health problems for almost 20 years, including a liver transplant, but hung in there playing with TOP until a couple of years ago. RIP.

RIP Rocco Prestia. He held up the bottom of that band in fine fashion for many years.

I have spent many hours listening to TOP and still do.

I posted a clip of the band here some years back. Another fine and respected musician gone.
