I'm so saddened by this news.
I have always loved him and his music so much.
One of my favourite songs by him actually singing is about the gates of heaven.. I'm gonna have to dig through my stuff for it.
I always gave him his credit in my music library - I added "(feat. LaShawn Daniels) to the songs his vocals were stand out on
I really feel for his immediate family, for everyone he's been working with and for everyone that loves him.
I hope that this bad news doesn't derail Brandy's project. Legally there could be some issues if he worked on a bulk of the songs. Hopefully not.
