Sad to hear this, a great singer and performer he was! and unusual in that his two biggest were 8 years apart like that. Loved them both!

"Give me the beat boys and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your Rock'N Roll ......and just drift away...."

Well his soul is free now to just drift away! RIP Dobie!

Just last week I discovered this rare clip of Dobie on Youtube singing "River Deep, Mountain High" from the sixties show "Shebang!" host by ex-Detroiter Kasey Casem:

The In Crowd was one of my favorite songs ever; I am going to listen to this version of River Deep Mountain High. This is sad news to hear.

I remember that one too Jill. He was really great and more than a bit under recognized for his contributions.

My thoughts and prayers are going out.
