  • I saw him last night. He made a special appearnce at a concert of local artists in St. Louis his. Physically, he's struggling, when he was wheeled up to the stage and stood very gingerly with the aid of a cane I figured his voice would be weak, but when he started to sing...WOW!! He doesn't hit some of the high notes, but his range is still phenominal.
