Over the past 30 year of music.......  

We has seen the death of many greats....
-Elvis Presley - King of Rock - August 16, 1977
-Johnny Cash - King of Country - September 12, 2003
-James Brown - Godfather of Soul - December 25, 2006
-Michael Jackson - King of Pop - June 25, 2009

and with music changing and new styles coming out do we as listeners really want these roles re-filled? Or will it always be filled by their music and inspiration the created?? To me Heaven now has a wonderful Chior with new addition, and I can see with Ray Charles on his piano, Johnny on his guituar and Michael is teaching Elvis some new dance moves and vice versa. Heaven a rocking and a dancing tonight. Peace and my thoughts and prayers to all his family in this difficult time.
