He was with the Blue Notes until 1970, although he also sang on Johnny Greco’s “Rocket Ride” and “Let it Please Be You” with Rick & the Masters. In November 2006, he was hit by an automobile which left him in critical condition and shortly thereafter, his family opted to remove him from life support.
