When I hear tracks like Summer Madness and Take My Heart, there’s no doubt in my mind that this man was a great man and that he will definitely be missed. I’m sure heads will nod to Sea of Tranquility, whose melodies has been sampled to by another R&B singer. Special shout out to Obi (who does it mad wikked like dat) and my main man KB.
Our condolences go out to the Smith Family. Listen and reminisce. Send it on.
