I caught him as a lounge act in Vegas countless years ago. Mid afternoon, no cover charge, me and maybe 12 other people hanging out. He did My Dingaling and Johnny B Good and that near-empty room lit up.
I was shocked when I read he was 90. He seemed ageless. Apparently not a guy you'd want as a friend, but one helluva singer and songwriter.

It's weird to think that he was only a lounge act in Vegas... A deserving member of the Inaugural Class to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He set the stage for a lot of people. |
