A legend just left us. Jim Gilstrap, the legendary singer who collaborated with Stevie Wonder on the absolutely iconic “You Are The Sunshine of My Life,” has died. He was 79. His nephew, Geoffrey Gilstrap, confirmed the news — Jim passed away Saturday in Los Angeles from natural causes.
For those who don’t know (and honestly, if you’ve ever heard that Stevie Wonder classic, you’ve heard Jim’s voice), Gilstrap was a serious vocal talent who left his mark on one of the most beloved songs of all time. That track? Pure magic. His voice helped make it unforgettable.
The music world just lost another piece of its soul.
