Not sure what to say?

Absolutely wonderful talent. I'm sure Mr. Calloway was an amazing gentleman. I'm just now coming across his music now. It's incredible how even now, in 2024, this 45 still resonates with me, and I'm sure so many others who have been blessed with hearing it. An absolute legend. It's almost been a decade since his passing, but I pray his family has had the time to heal. God bless you all.

Harrison was an amazing talent as well as a gentle and kind soul. It was a blessing to have had his life intersect with mine.

Prayers are with the family.

May your family find peace and comfort in knowing sickness, pain and death will one day be gone for this has been promised.

Harrison, a life-long friend and "home-boy," will be sincerely missed. So glad that I was able to see him recently as he was inducted into the AL Music Hall of Fame.
