The Minneapolis singer-songwriter released four albums from 1988 to 2011.
He broke a lot of ground at award shows, just as he did in the recording studio and on sound stages.
The 28-time Grammy winner died Sunday (Nov. 3).
The Brooklyn-bred producer worked with Jay-Z, 50 Cent, The Notorious B.I.G. & more.
He was one of the last singers of his kind -- and one of the best.
Titta worked with artists including Carole King, Lou Reed, Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam over a career spanning decades.
The singer helmed the mic for the legendary hard rock band from 1978-1981 before being replaced by longtime vocalist Bruce Dickinson.
“His passing leaves a deep void in the music and lives of those who knew him,” Vives said.
The well-respected executive’s multi-faceted legacy includes posts with Michael Jackson’s ATV Music and Famous Music and signings such as Akon and George Clinton.
"Anyone that uses music on Twitch owes a debt of gratitude to Cindy's work," wrote Twitch CEO Daniel Clancy in a tribute.
