TrevorR Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Another top voice of the early years of rock and roll has gone. Maybe never in the league of the Presley's, Vincent's etc but he recorded some fine tunes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37756170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 73 is no age either. Always loved his version of 'Take good care of my baby', one of Carole King's best pop songs. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I saw him a few years back at the Ready Steady 60's show at the London Palladium. His son was playing bass. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Sad loss. My mum was always a fan, and as kids, grew to know many of his big hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Sorry to hear that he's gone...I used to work with a fella who would hum/whistle/sing just the opening line to "Take good care of my baby" leaving it in my head for the rest of the day - used to drive me crazy.... Sad loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
