They will get the recognition and the admiration that they deserve." As for what he'll remember about the late rocker, LL Cool J pointed to his"humility and his willingness to share his talent."
"That was a beautiful thing," he said."That man came in the studio with me at a time when, creatively, I was trying to get my sea legs and trying to figure out what to do, and how I wanted to do it.
