I just heard of Milton's passing (and Vivian's too). I've been out of state for a few years now. Milton and Vivian meant a great deal to me - Milton was a real champion of my singing and led me to a new path in contemporary music that I'm not sure I would've found on my own. Thank you, Milton, and rest in peace.
