As a child I was transfixed by the colorful album cover, and danced to the music my older siblings played.

I still danced as a teen. The man, already a legend, played a huge part in the soundtrack of my youth. One of the few I liked enough to see in concert.

Year after year, I continued to be transfixed, spellbound by that voice, enthralled by the ever-changing artist I had known all my life.

When my (then) young daughter first watched Labyrinth, she turned to me and said, “Mom, that Goblin King can sing!”

Yes, hon… He can…
