Out comes Frazier
Swinging is left hook voice of the commentator
Born January 12th, 1944
South Carolina future hall of famer for sure

Amy Winehouse
Voice bright as the sun
Mixed R&B, Soul, and Jazz all at one
Born September 14th, in 83

Won Grammy's sold millions of records deserved it
Suffered from drug abuse but who's perfect
The cause of her death
Alcohol poisoning
She was chosen
God makes the choices

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely
