Because of what was played in my presence when I was a kid, Billy Joe Royal is one of the many from back in the day that I am no stranger to.
God bless you and his family always!!!

Hello, my name is Holly and ever since his going forward, I've done nothing but binge on this beautiful precious!
God bless you and his family always!!!
Holly
P.S. And because it took his passing to make me realize who I was missing out on all of this time, I couldn't be any more ashamed of myself over how late I am.

^^^ If you got it because I was in it, thank you so much. Every word that I wrote to them is the truth. The more that I listen to and watch this late beautiful precious, the harder it is that I want to kick myself for not growing his side of my brain sooner because now its too late to feel his arms around me!  God bless you and his family always!!! Holly P.S. I bawled like a baby when I saw him be included in this memorial montage at the 3:02 mark near the end of the Grammy award show this past Monday night. I thank the award show powers that be for letting us hear him sing the opening lines of "Down In The Boondocks" even after his clip had gone away. |
