Elevated by @ChrissieHynde including me on her DUETS album!🎶🌅

People need reflection. I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed. You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Excerpt from a song I wrote over 35 years ago that still rings true for some in their goal of Freedom. Peace & Harmony.

Waters of MELIOR, a scene in my Blended-roots Opera, is about healing. This excerpt from the 25 vocal harmony tracks I demoed at home will balance better with a Choir, just as delivering peaceful vibes as one in togetherness can do.🌄
