Roughly half of all stars are formed in galaxies with stellar masses greater than logM*>10. This same population contains ``red and dead'' galaxies where star formation has effectively shut down, in some cases for many gigayears. We briefly review recent observational constraints on the distribution of specific star formation and stellar mass of this population and discuss how measurements of cold gas properties might provide insight into its evolution. We highlight several new results and describe GASS-the GALEX Arecibo SDSS survey-an on-going large survey designed to obtain deep measurements of the HI properties of massive galaxies, providing a crucial link between past, present and possible future evolution of galaxies straddling the ``transition mass'' in galaxy properties.
