Hi everyone,i have major breaking news:sad news to report:singer Clarence Carter died at the age of 90.He’s best remembered for his 3 major hits:”Slip Away”in 1967,”Patches” in 1970,which won a Grammy Award for best songwriting written by General Johnson at the 1971 Grammy Awards,and “Strokin” in 1993. Although the song “Strokin” wasn’t a major hit,but it was a hit local black radio stations in the south,and in Washington DC.He performed the song on the special called “Old School Party”aired on PBS back in 2004. This past weekend,lead singer Dennis Locorriere died from a kidney disease at the age of 76.He was the founder of the group called Dr.Hook & The Medicine Show[later changed to Dr.Hook in 1976]The group is from Union City,N.J. made their debut back in 1972 with a song called “Sylvia’s Mother”,then their follow up “The Cover of Rolling Stone” in 1973.The group has sung different genres of music:Country Rock,Soft Rock,Blue-Eyed Soul,Pop,and Disco.Growing up,when i turned 7 years old on October 18,1973,there was a commerical from Columbia House called Monster Hits,and i saw this group,and they were wearing those funny looking clothes,and i said to myself “Are they doing a funny song that makes us laugh?”.That was the first i’ve seen that group on TV.By the mid-late 70’s,the group reorganised and kept up with the times in the disco-pop era with hits include:”If You’re In Loved With a Beautiful Woman”,”Sharing The Night Together”,and “Sexy Eyes”.Those were top 10 hits.I didn’t know that there were from New Jersey,i thought there from the south.When i found out in Wilkedpedia,the group started out in the south,and later moved up to the northeast.Rest in peace to lead singer/founder Mr.Dennis Locorriere at 76. Make sure you tune in to my 3-part season finale called “Tributes”,honoring our favorite singers that had passed during the 2025-2026 season airing on Tuesday, June 23rd,and the season finale is Tuesday June 30th. On a happier note,i got a chance to interview my returning guest Miss Karla Lynette representing the country of Wales in The U.K. and she has 2 of her guests:her co-writers:Swaggi and Cino.Her new single “Never Gonna Stop” drops on Saturday May 30th,and it will be available on all music platforms.This was my first time doing 2 guests,and i’m looking forward for future guests whether it double or triple when i start promoting season 6 returning this fall. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone.Take care,god bless,and please be safe.
