Popular Post Gecko123 Posted February 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) He expanded our emotional vocabulary through music, and provided the soundtrack to the lives of so many. What a tremendous talent. I salute you. One of my favorite versions of 'Walk on By': 'God Give Me Strength' from the sublime Painted from Memory' collaboration with Elvis Costello: He had a beautiful and very expressive singing voice as well: Edited February 10, 2023 by Gecko123 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Sad. He will be missed. A good innings though and his music will live on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
