Here is the story. The loss of another great voice.

...
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without a pity can do
No it isn't very pretty what a town without pity...
Can do
...
it's all too sad... God rest his soul...

Yes certainly sad, seen him in Concert many times, he even gave my wife a kiss once,here is a song he wrote for The Crystals, that was He's A Rebel, this is his own fairly rare version though.

I agree with your comment Peter, sadly we have lost another great singer.

So many great songs and such a great voice. Very sad indeed...

Yes, too bad, I've always liked him. He lived near here and played the casinos every so often, I saw him about 5 years ago and he looked and sounded great. He still lived in CT.
