RIP Sonny Geraci

[gar381]

You old timers might remember this guy.
A local Cleveland boy...
He had a bunch of hits back in the 60s singing/fronting
a bunch of different bands but most noticeably
"The Outsiders"  of Time won't let me fame.

Had the pleasure of working with him on a music video about 15 years ago.
A real class act and a nice man.

I didn't recognize the name, but I clicked hoping to learn something he did I might be familiar with, and I hit pay dirt. I sure do remember "Time Won't Let Me" from about age 8 or 10. It was yet again "one of those songs" that made me want to learn to play guitar.

I had no idea he also sang "Precious and Few," I also remember it well -  that was the same soft rock era as The Carpenters and Bread, and if you played it and asked me over the decades, I would have said it was a Bread song.
