“Richard Smallwood opened up my whole world of gospel music. His music didn’t just inspire me, it transformed me. He is my favorite pianist, and his brilliance, spirit, and devotion to the music have shaped generations, including my own journey. He will be greatly missed, and his legacy will continue to live through every note and every soul he touched. I am truly looking forward to singing with you in heaven.” -- Chaka 💜 #ChakaKhan #RichardSmallwood | Chaka Khan
