Wow, only 65. Seems that the cause was complications from surgery.

Was checking out his Wikipedia page and his first album was from 1980 "God's Not Finished with Me". I suppose his last album could be 2021 "Yep, I'm Finished".

Seriously been listening lately to a cassette copy of "The Champion" in my car. It's worn to the point the letters are gone from the cassette but played just fine until the other day. I popped it in and it sounded awful and muffled. I popped it out and discovered the pressure pad had come off. So this cassette died within days of the death of its subject.

It was a good cassette; Sony media with chromium dioxide and Dolby HX pro. It sounded about as good as a commercial cassette ever did.

I happened to see that the C-Man passed when I scanned YouTube videos just now. I immediately came here and expected to see lots of love, or at least off-color remarks, but the world is different now. I saw C-Man at SDSU before he was well-known and thought he was funny but then he fell off my radar. Later this board brought him back to mind with in various threads here. I hope they have boxing wherever he is now.

Actually, I like his music. Some of it. He was an important part of CCM music for a long time. But he is definitely not DA and I'm sure that's part of it.
