He was and still is the greatest in my book...one of a kind. He has been imitated but rarely if ever matched. Skill, intensity, showmanship, dedication, ferocity and pure talent...
Sorry to have lost him so early, but that's often the way it goes with such special people. Thanks for the post, talker. WC1
