At least he made it to 74. Good grief, all these famous deaths are starting to depress me.

I must confess that I somehow missed this news last year. Thank you for nudging me to enjoy a playlist of his music. It made me realize how much I miss the old R&B.

I thought I had heard of his passing last year, and then saw mention of him in FaceBook yesterday. But was too busy to really think about it much.

Then after seeing this thread today, I decided to look him up to be sure.

I did exactly the same Lars, bloody social media.

I heard Shakespeare has passed away also.

What!?? That can't be. He didn't finish his story. (Oh, wait. No that was that Martin Fellow.) Nevermind.
