He dominated a niche portion of the entertainment industry off the screen. He created a company (Star Waggons) that rented customized motor home and RV trailer dressing rooms.

I'll admit that I got a little choked up when KEXP played 'Lean On Me' this morning. Just the mood with everything going on.
