Musically, he was amazing. But he was a really, really, really nice person, too. The world is greatly diminished by his passing.

Simply lightyears ahead of his time......dude had such an imagination, but also the talent, perciverance to make it happen. Rock N Roll owes his a lot.

Wow. Sorry to hear the news, but talk about someone who had an amazing life. Any single decade of his 90 years is an inspiring story.
