No words. This man's music has been with me through several different phases of life, emotions, relationships. Hits hard.
Truly an icon and a music savant. He was incredibly respected, but still probably not given enough credit for just how talented and creative he was (performing, composition, chord changes, etc.).
He came to perform at the Apollo a couple of years ago and I decided not to go for whatever reason- thinking that I would get another shot at seeing him perform. Just another lesson for us not to wait to enjoy life.
Rest In Power.
