His legacy will live on, so in many ways, he's immortal.

All kidding aside, RIP to him.

I don't think he actually invented the CD, it says he just drove its development as the manager of the project.

Also, apparently he got his job by being a musician and complaining to Sony about the poor quality of their recording devices. In perhaps the greatest example of Let's See YOU Do Better! in history, his complaint caused him to get hired.

Michaelangelo didn't actually paint any of his frescos, either.
