When my maternal Aunt Fay SMSed me from Sydney on Monday evening, I could not believe it. She informed me that RJ Rosales had passed away.
As Aunt Fay’s godson, RJ was a regular at our family events. He engaged my help in arranging several songs and used the minus-one tracks for his public performances. He has a beautiful voice, strong yet sensitive. He played major roles in big musicals like Miss Saigon, Chang and Eng, and received a lot of theatrical exposure in recent years in Singapore. He is also well known in the Philippines and in Australia.
RJ’s death must have been a big blow to Aunt Fay, who flew over to Sydney to celebrate her birthday with RJ and his family.
The YouTube video below has 2 significance. One, the song is “The Prayer”, to aptly express my thoughts to him. Two, the minus-one was arranged by me.
Thank you for sharing your talents and bringing joy and beauty to our world. Be in peace, RJ.
