Great actor, great voice. Once at BestBuy I saw an audio Bible that he had recorded. I almost bought it, but it cost about twice as much as I could possibly have afforded that day...but just to hear James Earl Jones intone "In the beginning..."
I did buy it, in CDs. Still have it.
It's hard to feel too bad when someone has led a very long life, but this one hurts.
Trivia: Jones had a serious stutter as a kid. It was his concentrated effort to overcome it that led to his signature vocal delivery. And which also then led to his roles on stage and then in movies.
