It seemed as though he'd been 80 for years.
That's because he had. Awesome music.
Rest in Peace, Kenny. I was never a fan but didn't mind seeing you come on the TV when my parents were alive and watching the County TV shows. I even knew the lyrics to many of your songs and sang along when they came on the radio. Although I wasn't a big fan you were a part of many of our lives and we will always remember you. Your music will live on forever. Fly high, Sir!
He made his Mark in History & was around for a Long time !!!
