I am thinking of them as well…I am sure they are grieving but hope they can also find hope while celebrating his life.

Also, did you realize he WROTE some great music too?

Soul Man, and Hold On, I’m Coming (made popular by Sam & Dave) among many others?

I thought of you immediately when I heard this news, Mark. I listened to an interview with him on NPR yesterday and was really impressed and saddened to know he was gone. Truly a loss.
