I was in college when his Silver Tounged Devil song came out, and I got tagged with it right away, lol. RIP, Kris.

Lots of bumps along the way, a writer's eye and mind, pleasingly unique and a contributor. RIP

I was introduced to his music when I was about 13. I am in my 60's now and I was just telling my wife that I probably know almost every word to the songs from "Silver Tongue Devil". Over the years I have worn out several of his CD's. I did not Google it but I think he is listed as one of the most prolific song writers of his time. I will be humming his songs to myself for the rest of this sad day.
