Very sad.
What an accomplished guy though. He had a great life and overcame a lot of obstacles to be what he was.

What the hell? Did someone in heaven lose a bet??
He was an incredibly talented musician, and a really sweet guy.
He'll be missed.

...and there was a lot more to him than I knew. He lost his sight at age 7, but his mother wouldn't let him depend on anyone else. He still had to out for water and do other chores.
Started studying music at a state school for the blind. Patterned himself after Nat King Cole in the beginning.
Amazing entertainer. Musical inovater.
Super star before the word was invented.

I think he had 60 albums out. That is an amazing amount of work to put out.
