18 years already! It´s been "Half Heaven, Half Heartbreak" all these years without hearing your voice on the radio.

I still pull up his music and listen to it . My favorite is It Hurts to be in Love because I can really relate to the song . All of his music had so much meaning . He will continue to be missed by those who appreciated music. Continued condolences to his family .

It's May 2023 and your music is still as popular as it was back then. I listen to it all the time. Great talent. Sadly missed.
