"Run Baby Run" is by far my favorite of theirs.. such a great song, with a bit of a Motown flavor. That song has a really great groove, and is a wonderful dance tune:

This is sad, but a bit eery for me personally. I had been humming one of his/their songs off and on for about the past 2 weeks for no good reason and now I read this. Larry Henley, like most talented people was unique. Good singer, great group and he was a great songwriter. Rest in peace. Thank you

Sad to hear...I had him as a friend on Facebook. He had a great career writing country hits after his Newbeats days. RIP, Larry, and thank you... :[[

Best,

Mark

Agree Run Baby Run was tremendous in my top 25 songs of all time- it is a Motown song, great music and Larry was dynamic.

Break away was another excellent song
