shortcommings he had plenty,alot people don't realize the scope of his early career and music.He and the J5 were "big shit" ,nothing could touch their sound at the time,much akin to led zepplin to rock as J5 would be to RnB.Ever hear the Dancin Machine album?Holy pants crapper.The early music far outshines his later career in my mind ,off to diddle in the great blue sky ........R.I.P...michael...your the life of the party....
