Too bad, just after he was dead, thousands of people discovered him. Even me, I had no idea about his life, his career, anything but his voice, his terrific voice, his amazing inflections. Now we discover how fun he was, how much he was into everything we watch on big screen, and now he´s gone.
Up there were u might be, I bet, God is trying to sound like you.
Bye Don…
