When David Uosikkinen brings the latest installment of the live performance side of his “In The Pocket” project to the World Café Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com) on January 25, there will be an empty place on stage.

Richie Ingui, one of the core members of the group, passed away suddenly last week of a possible heart attack at age 70.

Charlie and Richie Ingui, who both performed with In The Pocket, were the main players in the Soul Survivors, a Philly-area vocal group that had a huge hit with the song “Expressway to your Heart.” The song was credited for setting the foundation for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s Sound of Philadelphia. “Expressway” reached Number 4 on the Billboard pop chart and became established as a TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) classic.
