Donnie Memorial

In Memory of
Donnie McCormick
1944-2009

We have lost yet another friend, brother and an American music pioneer. Donnie McCormick, a founding member of the legendary band Eric Quincy Tate has died after losing an ongoing battle with cancer.

Donnie is the second member of Eric Quincy Tate to die in just a few months. Preceding Donnie was Wayne "Bear" Sauls on November 26, 2008.

Donnie was an innovator, a tremendous vocalist, drummer, songwriter, entertainer and artist. Anyone who ever saw and heard Donnie perform would not forget him. His life was devoted to his music and the pleasing his audience.

Donnie was an inspiration and influence to all of us who were fortunate enough to have known him. We will miss him.

Georgia music history has been shaped and defined by many artists over the decades. For 37 years, Eric Quincy Tate has been a 
contributor not only to the musical heritage of the State of Georgia, but on a broader scale, America's heritage. In fact, the band and 
their music are global. 

EQT is one of the founding bands of the Macon, GA - Southern Rock movement in the very early 1970s. The band members are 
innovators, masters of their instruments, and are original in their musical compositions, sound, and in style. 

EQT has continually inspired generations of musicians young and old, as well as always giving their all from the heart to their 
audiences during public performances. The band entertains, connects with their audience, performs music people can feel, with 
melodies and lyrics people relate to. This is in part, why once a fan of Eric Quincy Tate , "a person remains one".
