He was truly an Icon.

And he ran the tightest band in the world.

Bye James.

Another icon gone, never to be replaced. I feel fortunate that I was able to grow up listening to some of these greats.

God he was a great entertainer! He was not perfect in life like us all, but what great music he made. RIP!

The Godfather

He'll definitely be remembered but I find it rather disgusting that his family was waging battle over his final resting place.
Its the ultimate disrespect
