Huge loss. His version of "America the Beautiful" is still better than any other patriotic song I can think of.

Ahhh he was excellent in the 'Blues Brothers'

What a singer and sadly missed.

What happened to you Yanks anyway? You used to produce brilliant musicians and now you just do the same old crappiness we do in Europe.

Get a grip!

Y'now...hate to say it.

I'm much sadder about Ray Charles' death than Ronald Regans.

No disrespect intended, just how I feel.

They say in show business that people die in threes, did Cash die too soon before Ray and Ronnie to count as the third?
