ARTHUR LEE ANDREW THOMPSON, 79. Died March 16, 2016.
Lead singer of Lee Andrews & the Hearts. Born in Goldsboro, North Carolina and raised in Philadelphia. His father had sung with the Dixie Hummingbirds.
His "Long Lonely Hearts" (#45 Pop, #11 R&B- 1957) became a Doo-Wop staple.
He also had "Teardrops" (#33 Pop, #3 R&B-1958) and "Try the Impossible" (#33 Pop- 1958).
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.
