      Well that's your opinion. I love Bobby don't get me wrong but there are some artists out there male who can match him in town like Al Jarrow making rest in peace along. With Mr. Caldwell who just recently passed away they're amazing artists out there who can sing their asses off trust me and that's your opinion but. You're biased? But like I said Bobby caught well we'll always hold a place in my heart. I am so sad and hurt to find out that he died. Today and I'm also sad that he died the way he did because it was needless it. Did not have to happen the drugs that he was taking to help him were the drugs that killed him and it was a slow painful death
