Glad I had the opportunity to Know Mr. Riley personally and glad I purchase his CDs, he would always call me Smokey, short for Smokey Robinson, lol. When I first herd Anthony singing in the Surberban Station concourse of downtown Philadelphia his voice caught my attention and I was a fan every since. Both he and the preacher his Guitar player Robbie were a band in themselves. I would always ask to here my favorite song, Can't You See........ Sometimes in the middle of a song, he would stop and start with, Can't You See..... when I walked up. I always knew someone day Anthony would make it big in the recording industry, but unfortunately that day never came. When I heard of the passing of my dear friend right after watching him capture all the judges attention on the voice and being the only contestant that ever had all four chairs to spend within 2seconds of his audition ( A Record still to this day!!!) I just couldn't believe it, that hit me hard, real hard. Anthony my dear friend, brother may you rest and continue to be blessed in heaven. I know you are entertaining up there as you did here. Thanks, I'll always remember you. Your friend Smokey!!
Wow I just heard of him today Watchung u tube covering people on these talent shows that have died. Man it really hit me hard a hard battle to fight. I never had the addiction but certainly I fight depression. He reminds me of my second husband personality who is now a TBI from addiction and doesn't even know me. I pray for all who struggles mental health. I wish I had his songs such an amazing personality and talent
I’m literally crying and I have just discovered him yesterday and found out today that he’s no longer on this planet. I just look at him and instantly feel sorrow. I wish he received the help he so needed. He will be missed, and surely be not forgotten. Rest In Peace. ❤️
What an amazing voice!!! It sux that he's gone. My heart breaks for his family. Again an amazing talent consumed by torment and and a need to find relief in a substance. I pray he finds solace in the arms of the Lord. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalms 23:4
Como lamento su muerte, iba a ganar the voice...No logro entender porque se suicido...El mejor cantante de calle que aya oído en toda mi vida. Ojala que allá conseguido la paz que tanto necesitaba..

NOs cuesta tanto encontrar buenas razones para que haya tomado esa decisión que nos choquea su historia y si triste final.
Decidir aparcar
