Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Incredibly powerful song for me growing up.

He'll be missed.

Probably my favorite of his. The cover by Krown, Washington & Batiste was great too.

Prayers for his family.

Brightened a lot of lives with his music. He will be terribly missed.
