Words cannot describe the sadness I feel over this terrible news.

Yup, very sad, but he lived such a full life. I saw him back in 1995 or so, and I swear I thought he was going to die not long after that, but he kept on touring for another 17 years or so. Amazing!

I had the pleasure of seeing Mr.King perform many times. The show I remember most fondly was in 1982 at a small supper club here in Jersey called Club Bene. (defunct now for many years) If you opted for the rubber chicken dinner you could get a table right up front ,which of course we did. Watched the show from about 3 feet from the stage. Jerry Jemmott was the bassist that night and man the band was smokin'. Will never forget that night.

Got to see him at the old Robin Hood Dell East in Philly back in the 70's, I was just a kid but I knew I was seeing a legend. Not only an amazing talent and icon but for all accounts I heard he was one of the nicest guys out there. I never read any bad press about him and that is pretty unusual.
