There Goes My Baby.

Sad news. RIP.

Sad news indeed.

Another one gone, along with Jimmy Ruffin and Percy Sledge in the last 6 months.
No, he won't be alone .........

I must have first seen him at Worthing Pier (or Assembly Rooms) n the late 60's and then various clubs in Liverpool and Manchester thereafter.
He toured the UK 2 years ago but looked ill.

Damn, that sucks.

The bassline in Stand By Me was one of the first I learnt when I started playing.

RIP

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Another good one gone... Stand By Me was an all time classic.
The music business is all the poorer today

Will be missed.

I liked it when they speeded up the film and he chased the scantily clad ladies around to Yakety Sax.
