Electric Thunder Radio

He had music for all, from the teen fun times, to the adult indigo mood. His music means so much to old and young. His memory never lost. He is a cultural icon who transcended time with a musical legacy that was fun, often lacking in emotional content, but then could come back and knock you into touch with those emotions on “One More Try”, “Father Figure”, “A Different Corner” and "Jesus To A Child". He had his controversies that were media hounded, but at the back of it all was a humanitarian who was a giver and great philanthropist.
