Yeah I know, you'd wonder, wouldn't you? A guy who at sixteen could play every instrument, write, compose, produce, engineer, promote his own music. A guy who crossed genre AND race boundaries, a man who brought "black" music to a mainstream audience but refused to have it categorised as black, a man who made being small cool, who brought sex firmly into the forefront of music and left us with a catalogue of hits the like of which it is hard to imagine being surpassed.
Who could care about him, huh?
