We knew and still know the words of most of his songs - dad played those records over and over.
In a strange way they were both a part of my life.

ago. She sang one gospel song and she was astonishing. Vocally amazing and her performance so present and directly emotional, she meant every word and every note of that song fully. I'll never forget it, one single song.
