Close to 30 years ago I was staying with a friend in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. She had an albumn from Freddy and played it for me. I so loved his unique voice and style that I played the albumn over and over and over. As much as she loved to hear Freddy's voice, my friend wasn't so keen on listening to the albumn seemly for her, without end. I loved Freddy's music from that moment on and although I lost a friend over him I'd say it was more than a fair trade. I am deeply sadden by the news of Freddy's passing. When I moved from Canada over to Germany I took along only one suitcase. In that suitcase was all that was dear to me in the world. In amongst those treasured items was Freddy's albums. Such a sad day for us, such a joyous day for Heaven.
