He died a few days ago, aged 73. He lost his partner 6 months ago when she was killed in a car accident, so I hope his death only coincided with hers, and it was not...suicide.
Bobby was a big star in Vancouver, back in the sixties. He was the first artist to have a album certified Gold in Canada. I'm not certain if he did any original songs. Many hits I know of were versions of songs popularly sung by others. For example, "Walking With My Angel" was recorded by Bobby Vee, so it has hairs on it due to its age. :)
I'm really a big lover of Canadian bands and solo singers, despite being Scottish; I like Terry Black too, and Burton Cummings who was from The Guess Who. But I wish there wasn't so many Autotune 'stars' nowadays and more naturally talented singing going on. :(
