It’s sad we have lost another true icon in the music industry. My mother loved his music especially “I Stand Accused.” Younger people please take note of music that never goes away. I was a young girl listening to his music and it is still well known and played by many today. He was a legend, original, gifted, and talented. He expressed true feelings in his music; not a one hit wonder to make a buck with explicit lyrics. My prayers and heart goes out to his family. With his soulful music, We Never Can Say Goodbye!
