Crazy that he passed away at 50. I wonder if it was because of all those surgeries.
His earlier work when he initially went solo were definitely some of my all time favorites.
(ie when he was still black). His music during his white days wasn't that hot.
I guess just to regurgitate youtube's links of him here:
