Lucius "Tawl" Ross (October 5, 1948 – January 3, 2024) was an American musician. He was the rhythm guitarist for Funkadelic from 1968 to 1971, and played on their first three albums.[1] He left the band in 1971 soon after a debilitating experience with LSD,[2][3] which is reported to have resulted in brain damage.[4] He moved back home to North Carolina and dropped out of the music scene, but resurfaced in 1995 after a nearly 25-year absence to release a solo album, a.k.a. Detrimental Vasoline - Giant Shirley, issued by Coconut Grove Records under the name Tal Ross.[5]
The death of Ross on January 3, 2024, was reported on Facebook by the group George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic.
