http://www.saber.net/~orb Couldn't find a news story on his death, but I did find this fan site. A really nice career in music.
Seems like he did a little of everything. "Move It" I remember, of course, and he co-wrote the lovely "You Can Never Stop Me Loving You" which Johnny Tillotson had a hit with here. And of course America's first album. Another to be missed and mourned. ED
"C'mon pretty baby let's a-move it an' a-groove it..." Links to two stories. Hollywood Reporter AP at Sarasota-Herald Tribune America's first album was a beauty. Long overdue for a Rhino remaster or a Warner Archives treatment.
