I went to high school with that cat. No one knew he could saying until 11th grade. A bunch of us were standing in the stairwell by the gym waiting for the gym teacher to leave and he started singing. Everyone thought it was me, and it turned out to be him.
I haven't talk to him since high school graduation. I saw him from a distance in mm when he showed up with magic Johnson real you know that better than anyone when magic open the Magic Johnson theaters in Randall Mall (he was on Magic's label). I got Magic's card when he heard me sing, but I punked out and didn't call.
Sad to hear.
