People I admire: Scatman John.

His birth name is John Paul Larkin.

Did you know he suffered from a severe stutter? Before singing, he hid behind pianos because he was afraid to talk to others.

In 1995, at age 53, he became a worlwide star with his hit "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)". He passed away at age 57, merely four years after becoming incredibly famous.
