I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I like the music that he plays and I appreciate the work that he does.I appreciate the fact that Ricky sings from his heart;he does not do these things because he wants to gain fame or because he wants to be nr.1.He already has all this.I hope that in the future more an more artists will take his example and make music from the heart,because this is the real music that survives.
