What Matters Most - Kenny Rankin

Sorry I can't stick around to answer posts, but I didn't see this posted, and I know there are some who will have enjoyed his music.

Kenny Rankin was superbly talented, and brought a lot of pleasure with his music.

He was unique.

Used to play him on the radio.

I will miss him.

I recognize the name and the voice on the utube vid. It’s always sad when the talented artists leave us.

I cried when I read this last night. Kenny Rankin was such a part of my youth. Everytime he sang near where I lived, I made sure I'd go. He had such a beautiful voice, and a wonderful spirit. I met him once..he knew a cousin of mine very well and when I introduced myself, he was very gracious. For any of you who have never heard his music...here are two of my favorites:

Haven't we Met

Blackbird

Blame It On My Youth

RIP, Kenny.
