    Interesting reading the wikipedia page below:
    John Paul Larkin, (March 13, 1942 — December 3, 1999), better known as Scatman John, was a famous stuttering jazz musician who invented a unique fusion of scat singing and disco, best known for his 1995 hit "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)". As he liked to say, this was a process of "turning my biggest problem into my biggest asset".

    I'd heard (and had believed until I just read otherwise) that he died of an E overdose...

    Never knew it was a genuine stutter either.

    Weird, me and my friends were singing that song all day friday for some reason.
    He died in 99?? Didn't think it was that long ago. That guy was a legend.
