The world has lost another music hero. His simple music, gentle voice & beautiful songs will forever be cherished.

Whenever I hear his song, I remember my late father. He was a huge fan. He bought all his albums and could sing every one of his song word-for-word.
In honor of the legendary singer and because we believe he lives on, let's enjoy one of his hit songs: I Believe In You
