The last song I sang for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was “A Life Lived With Grace”. She lived a life of grace & dignity in service to the United Kingdom & she was an inspiration to the world. I send deepest condolences to the Royal family & British public with a heart of love

Bill sang with a gentle power and protest.  He caressed the lyric of love and informed us of our beautiful roots.  He told me that grandmas hands would always be Real good hands.  All modern singers and musicians owe to his legacy.  He painted on my canvas with beautiful blues...

When I was younger, walking behind someone, I used to sing 'Nature Boy' or 'Waltz for Debby' so they wouldn't fear me. I have seen the darkness, but I've chosen to channel the negative energy into something more positive for my listeners, 'Mr Holland' is one of those songs.

Singing is spiritual for me, and I don’t mean religious, or any particular denomination. I mean that I sing to give people a better feeling, to elevate them wherever I am in the world. 📷allesfuji
