I'm 73, so when Elvis died, it was a rough time. That night, we held a "tribute to Elvis" party and constantly toasted "to the king".
I was sad when other singers like Roy Orbison, Jackie Wilson, Bobby Darin, and Gene Pitney died, but there's one singer/song writer who's death will really impact me; Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues.
Listening to Moody Blues and Justin Hayward music for nearly four decades, his passing will be tough.
But, he's younger than I am, so the odds are that he'll outlast me.
