Country music isn't my thing but he sure was a great singer who broke down musical barriers. Didn't even know he was black - not that it matters.

There's a bit of a "thing" at the moment about black lives mattering.

Normally we'd blame drugs or the lifestyle, but this was a lung issue (not Covid-related) that basically came out of nowhere.
