    Beautiful song. I lost my granny 2 years ago but still break down and cry when I think of the bond we had. She was my bestfriend. The hole in my heart is in the shape of her and no one can fill it. It will forever be empty.😢

    R.I.P. my boy Wylie Draper!!! He is the man on 0:37.
    He portrayed Michael Jackson a.k.a THE KING OF POP ON THE MINI-SERIES THE JACKSONS : AN AMERICAN DREAM. HE DID AN INCREDIBLE, TERRIFIC,EXCELLENT,FABULOUS,ETC. ALL OF THE POSITIVE STATEMENTS YALL CAN THINK OF, HIS PERFORMANCE WAS ALL OF IT AND 100,000,000,000,000,000 TIMES!!!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE IF HE DID NOT DIE FROM LEUKEMIA IN 1993. BUT HE IS WHERE HE BELONGS, AND MICHAEL IS WITH HIM TO. RIP WYLIE DRAPER!!!!!!!!!!

      Roslyn Heyward, I just saw the newer version of the Shaft movie with Samuel Jackson, and her. Her son (Mikai Pfeifer) was killed by a racist thug whose rich daddy kept bailing him out of jail and other trouble when he committed a crime and she got tired of seeing him get away with them especially with murdering her son and she got a gun, waited outside when he came out of court and popped a cap in him. I love justifiable endings like that. 😉😊

    Some of these people were very young. Sad they are gone.
    I was surprised no mention of Otis Redding. He was becoming well known when I was in the service. One of my pals had a battery powered record player. When we were at base camp in Chu Lai, Vietnam he played music. That was in 1967. We were listening to one of Otis's songs when a guy came running in and said, "Dammit, Otis' plane went down in Madison, WI." I about lost it, that is my hometown. Right before Christmas. Bad news.
