Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Chad Stuart of Chad & Jeremy

CHAD STUART, 79

Died 20 December 2020

Singer with folk/pop duo Chad & Jeremy.

Born David Stuart Chadwick.

Group consisted of him and Jeremy Clyde and formed in 1962.  Unlike the rock sound of others in the British Invasion, they had a more soft and folk-inflected style.  I loved their appearance on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" as the British band, "The Redcoats."

And, I have always gotten their songs confused with those of Peter & Gordon.

Some of their big songs:

"Yesterday's Gone" (#21-1963)

"A Summer Song"  (#7-1964)

"Willow Weep for Me"  (#15-1964)

"If I Loved You"  (#23-1965)
