I'm sorry guys, I cannot equate him with Elvis at all. I also disagree that any of his stuff was "timeless" it all sounds terribly 70's and 80's to me. But that is just my opinion. He was a good artist and a talent and certainly a standout of his era, but I just pull myself to go any further than that.
I'm sick of hearing about him already, my news has been absolutely hijacked by this whole deal.
