Loved the song, loved the dorkiness of him in the video, LOVED LOVED LOVED his voice.
I don't think it would have done as well without him singing it.
Truly a song where the artist meets the moment and creates pure magic.

That was a great video. I didn't know anything about the genesis of that video or how the rest of his life had played out. Seems like a genuinely nice guy.
