    3 threads on this forum seems confirmation enough.

    At Christmas time when one of his songs from years ago has become tradition. Grew up listening to him and the ladies and gentlemen album was jus amazing.

    OK folks, it is not about me, but just clicked on the thread.

    Thank you for the confirmation.

    What a 2016 it has been for deaths of great artists.

    Anyone want to vote we end 2016 early yet? She is clearly out of control and no telling who's next

    It appears to be. It's a pity the guy's later career was plagued with drug problems and ill health.

    (Thank fook Carrie Fisher is still here)

    Anyhoo, he was definitely a huge talent, very troubled in later life. Definitely a music legend. Left a legacy of great songs and albums too.
