    Wow. Was just listening to his greatest hits over a game of Scrabble last night. Sad. Great singer.

    Crazy. Last weekend we were talking about the song 'ain't no sunshine' and then went down the rabbit hole of his long list of amazing songs.

    He was a good one. Beaucoop samples and covers for 90's HipHop and other music.

    I remember that one episode of Fresh Prince... I know, I know, I know, I know

    Ain’t no sunshine anywhere these days, and we lost a bit more with his passing.
    Rest In Peace.

    As a kid I used to love singing Just the Two of Us when it came on the radio. That and "Ain't No Sunshine" are classics. I'll add this one that may be appropriate nowadays :

    Just watched it again.

    I can't make nobody do nothing, and nobody gotta listen to me, but this is quite possibly the best documentary I've ever seen.
