My condolences to Darryl's friends and family.  'Love  Can't Turn Around' is one of my first memories of house music.  You know he's getting the party started upstairs.

R.I.P. my childhood friend.  We went 40 years back.  I remember back in grade school, people use to actually laugh at him.  We were friends and I always knew he had a special gift.  Watching his talents from a little boy into manhood.  What marvelous thing God has done with people like Daryl.  Heaven's choir got a new lead single. They shoutin all over heaven. 

Great person I did stage plays with him rip pandy.

From Paula Jones:  Rest in peace Metro high school friend. I will never forget you, as you did not care one iota about what folks thought about you.  Bet that none of them had the life that you made for yourself.  Miss singing with ya Darryl, and I am so glad that we got to speak with each other several years ago.

God Bless you and keep you , So long DP!

THAT song. Exactly how brilliant was it? Very sad to hear about this.

R I P my friend.

Your spirit was full of joy all the way to the end of your journey...miss you so, your "Girl friend" in Christ

We're going to miss your over-the-top crazy-ass goofing, and of course all the outstanding music you brought over the years.  I'll always be grateful to you for bringing my first production to the Billbard Dance charts, "MOVE" on DJ International (Farmboy).  Underneath that mountain of man, the crazyness, and the shrill falsetto, was a playful little boy who just LOVED music...thank God he made it to the "mountaintop".  Rest in peace, old friend.  We love you.

U will be greatly missed. Because of U & ur music has helped so many people get out their.  Also, U made some musicccc back then & still being played & on CD ( love can't turn around one of my favorites) Thanks & blessings 2 ur family.
