when i was a young teen i wasnt allowed to watch his singing because of his hip movement etc. so ed sullivan got shut off. after a year or so some of his movement had been reduced and i watched him. he was okay. not really a fan. as i grew i listened and watched his movies. the tone of his voice is what i heard. that of an angel.esp christian songs he sang. his father said he should have sung those instead as he was chosen.. (that was a hint btw) but his life had been so controlled by the DS he was into drugs etc. i dont know who or what happened to have him see the light.but he "died". there was no question as he looked aweful. i have to wonder if it was one of his brothers who is heavier who played that role in his last days.. so thankful he is alive and doing what God wanted him to do . he was chosen.for a purpose.God bless him.at 88 still doing Gods work.
