Two members of famous groups have died recently.
MARSHALL LYTLE, 79
Original bass player for Bill Haley & His Comets died May 25, 2013. Recorded the big hits "Rock Ariund the Clock," "See You Later Alligator" and "Shake, Rattle and Roll." He was known for his style of slapping the strings as he played. He would also sometimes play the huge instrument (not a bass guitar) over his head or ride it like a surf board.
Born in Old Fort, North Carolina in 1933 and joined Bill Haley in 1951 as a teenager. He and two other Comets quit in 1955 over monetary issues.
MARVIN JUNIOR
Lead bass singer of the R&B group Dells who had a big hit back in 1956 with "Oh, What a Night." They had other songs that I liked, including "Stay In My Corner." The group formed at Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, and first recorded as the El-Roys for Chess Records.
Signed to Vee-Jay Records in 1955 and remained intact as a group into the 1980s.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
