I recently saw him in concert on August 30, 2007 ,less than 2 months ago here in Atlanta @ the variety playhouse.  

 

Seeing him perform made my day and I cannot  remember  dancing as much I did especially when he played "Prisoner and House  Of Exile".

 

It is a very sad news indeed.   May his soul rest in peace!!!  

Best Regards,
