His paternal grandfather was from Yorkshire, England. He had extended family in Barbados and Venezuela. Gale often visited the U.K. and Venezuela as an adolescent, which influenced his style into adulthood. He was fluent in Spanish.Gale started playing the guitar at age 12.[1] At that time, he skipped junior high school. Soon after, in high school, he visited John Coltrane’s home after school and sat in on jam sessions, which inspired Gale’s readily recognizable style.[2] Gale received his Master of Science in chemistry at Niagara University.[1] He was also on the football team. Later, Gale was pursued by Frank Sinatra to work on the hit song “My Way”, as mentioned in Frank Sinatra’s autobiography. Gale decided to pursue a musical career full-time instead of getting his Ph.D. in Chemistry.A close friend of Gale, Roberta Flack, asked Gale to work with her on the Killing Me Softly album. He had just finished recording his Negril album with the Wailers Band, along with Peter Tosh on vocals, in Kingston, Jamaica. During that period of time, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated in the United States and it hit Gale hard; he flew out to Montego Bay, Jamaica, to clear his mind and reconnect with nature, then was able to finish an album in Kingston with his friends who understood politics and injustice. This was mentioned in the Aston “Familyman” Barrett’s autobiography. After that, Flack called Gale and begged him to come back home to New York to help her with the Killing Me Softly album. Gale was reluctant so she flew the band members to him instead. After some persuading, they ended up returning to the United States. The album was a hit.Gale often worked as a session musician, recording with musicians such as Gary Burton, Joe Cocker, King Curtis, The Drifters, The Flamingos, Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne, Illinois Jacquet, Billy Joel, Quincy Jones, Herbie Mann, David “Fathead” Newman, Diana Ross, Mongo Santamaria, Paul Simon, Nina Simone, Jimmy Smith, Clark Terry, Bobby Timmons, and Jackie Wilson.[3] In the 1970s he became a studio guitarist for CTI Records, recording with Bob James, Stanley Turrentine, and Grover Washington Jr., and was a member of the R&B band Stuff.[4] His first of many albums as a solo act was released by Kudu.[4]Gale died of lung cancer in 1994 at the age of 55 and is survived by his wife Masako Murakami-Gale, their three daughters, and two grandchildren.[3][5]Discography[edit]As leader[edit]Forecast (Kudu, 1973)Negril (Micron Music; Klik, 1975)Multiplication (Columbia, 1977)Ginseng Woman (Columbia, 1977)Part of You (Columbia, 1979)Touch of Silk (Columbia, 1980)Blue Horizon (Elektra\/Musician, 1982)In the Shade of a Tree (JVC, 1982)Island Breeze (Elektra, 1983)In a Jazz Tradition (EmArcy, 1988)Let’s Stay Together (Artful Balance, 1988)Utopia (Rooms, 1998, released posthumously)With StuffStuff (Warner Bros., 1976)\u2018\u2019More Stuff\u2019\u2019 (Warner Bros. 1977)Live Stuff (Warner Bros., 1978)Stuff It!
