Music Deaths: Chuck Barris

CHUCH BARRIS, 87

Died March 26, 2017.

Creator of game shows like "The Newlywed Game" and the "Dating Game."  So, so much better than those stupid "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" farces.  And, actually humorous.  Also, "The Gong Show," so dumb it was funny.

Wrote the songs "Palisades Park" which became a hit for Freddy Cannon, which got Chuck Barris in trouble because of his job with "American Bandstand."
