joy and pain because he was a great artist with loads of personalty and who always wanted to be yourself and try to be nothing else even if you were trying to be your yesterday self.

We wouldn't have our music today without these three men and other musicians, these guys are people I would've love to meet, even though Stevie is alive i think it would be too late even then

Ray was so passionate when he spoke, especially Carnegie Hall. What a man.
