That was too young, he had too much left in him yet.

Hey, since posting this, I found two decent You Tube videos, linked above, of him performing as a young man, and recently.

That's funny, I was talking with someone about him last week also, trying to remember how old I was when "The Israelites" came on the radio. 9 or 10, I think.

Do you remember how old *you* were?
And do you remember the *second* reggae song you ever heard (probably Jimmy Cliff's "Wonderful World, Beautiful People"....)

Let's not eerie each other out, though!
