YoungWillz 21,240 Posted July 8, 2015 Dave Somerville, original lead singer of Canadian vocal group The Diamonds, is unwell and in hospital. I see he studied acting under Leonard Nimoy. Let's hope he doesn't follow the 2015 method that Leonard did earlier this year. I'm off to listen to some Diamonds music... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,240 Posted July 12, 2015 Jack Carlson, tenor with The Room(m)ates, died back on June 12, beyond which I have no info. http://www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm Here's the entry from the page: Jack Carlson, first tenor and falsetto singer with the Room(m)ates died Friday (June 12). The group was formed at Sage Junior High in Queens, New York and recorded for the Valmore label, owned by their managers. Their first hit recording was actualy as a backup to Cathy Jean Giordano (who they never met until the song was released) on her recording of "Please Love Me Forever" (#12-1961), but they then charted on their own with "Glory Of Love" (#49-1061). However, subsequent recordings both wih and without Cathy Jean failed to chart and the quartet disbanded in 1965. Jack later moved to Littleton, Colorado.
