Man, the great ones are dying way too quickly! I can't believe this has happened and I feel proud that he has left a major mark on music history. He was more than a guy who composed one of the most recognized movie scores of all time ("Theme From Shaft"), he was an artist that changed the way soul music was suppose to sound. He always vividly expressed the peaks and falls of love, with love in his heart.
I miss him and Bernie! RIP Check me out and add me on:
