Elvis was very much a part of my youth, as were The Doors, Pink Floyd (via my brothers) and Queen (through my kids, who were also MJ fans). I was devastated when Freddie Mercury died. I played barcelona over and over, for me that was the absolute essence of his singing. Isn't it strange that singers are so important in our lives?
