Wow.

A Real LIFE-CHANGER Of A Year, Actually.

I’ve Had It On The Brain The Past Couple Days.

The End Of High-School.

The Beginning Of The Navy.

Lost Some Close Friends.

Gained Some Closer Friends.

Some Amazingly Amazing Times.

Some Amazingly Horrid Times.

BUT…

…That Year DID Spawn Some GREAT Tunage…

…Fo SHO, My Peeps.

This Little Number…

INTERGALACTIC

…Was A FAVE-FAVE That Has Stuck With Me.

T’is A Damned-Fine Tune, Eh?!!?!

The TOP 5 MALE VOCAL PERFORMANCES In MUSIC HISTORY.

.Period Period.

Every Single Time I Hear His Version…
