Will was absolutely wonderful. I didn't know about his medical situation. When I saw his performance, I hardly recognized him, but the voice was magnificent. Thank God for his mercy and power in our lives. Praise God for Will's recovery!! Will you are truly loved and needed to bring that blessed voice to the masses. One Luv.
I hope you get better, Will. I enjoy your 2007 CD, dude. Keep busy though. Not as busy as Quincy Jones was; that's how he got sick. But moderately stay busy. One!!!
