He was 72. Milano died Sunday, 1st of January 2012, three weeks after his lung cancer was diagnosed, said Warren Gradus, who joined the Belmonts in 1963. Milano lived in Massapequa, on Long Island, and died in a hospital, Gradus said. Dion DiMucci, the lead singer who left the Belmonts in 1960, said on his Facebook page Tuesday, "May he rest in peace and rock on in heaven." Milano and three friends from the Bronx formed the Belmonts in the mid-1950s, borrowing their name from the borough's Belmont Avenue. They became Dion and the Belmonts after DiMucci joined in 1958. Milano sang tenor on hits like "A Teenager in Love" and "Where or When." The Belmonts continued to perform and to record with different lineups after DiMucci left for a solo career. Gradus said Milano was performing with the Belmonts at casinos and other venues just weeks ago. There was strife between DiMucci and Belmonts members, who were not pleased when DiMucci was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without them in 1989. In his Facebook posting, DiMucci said Milano "was very savvy with harmonies" and added, "We had our ups and downs through the years but that's how things go in families, even rock-and-roll families." Milano went back school in middle age and joined the Department of Correction in 2003. In his position as a legal coordinator at the Rikers Island jail complex, he helped inmates research their cases and taught a legal research class, said Karen Powell, director of law libraries for the department. Powell said Milano had more energy than colleagues two decades younger and "was a person who really loved life." "We'd know it was him coming through the door because we'd hear him singing and skipping up the stairs," Powell said. Milano is survived by his wife, Lynn, two children and 10 grandchildren.

In this clip he is seen performing "Everything Must Change". Peaston's friend, singer, Cheryl Pepsii Riley, shared her condolences on Mr Peaston's passing on Facebook via News One: I'm so saddened by the news, my friend David Peaston has passed.

However he spent much of his life in Houston where he was revered as a blues legend. The song was written by Walter himself and Eddie Shuler (though the latter could have just been adding his name to the credits as was the accepted practice at the time). It's a boisterous Texas shuffle with riffing horns though with less emphasis on guitar than usual. "The Story of Goldband Records: Eddie's House Of Hits" is a collection issued by Ace Records (UK) which attempts to give an introduction to Goldband Records, owned and run by Eddie Shuler, out of Lake Charles, Louisiana. It was opened by Eddie in 1952 and has continued ever since. However its heyday was very much during the fifties and early sixties when Eddie achieved strong regional success with a number of singles plus one or two which went on to wider success. Goldband recorded virtually any music that was popular in the area which was a pretty wide list including blues, R&B, country, rockabilly, other forms of rock'n'roll, swamp pop and cajun. Given that we are talking SE Louisiana many of these distinctions often blurred together and some individual artists would skip between these genres seemingly at will.The man behind the legend.Johnny wrote over 100 songs;Many covered by Big TomActuacion de España en Eurovision en 1963, con José Guardiola, y la cancion "Algo prodigioso", consiguiendo 2 pts, en la posicion 12º.Lili Chookasian sings "Re dell'abisso" from Un Ballo in Maschera by Giuseppe Verdi Julius Rudel, conductor 30.III.1971Born in Lenoir TN (1927 - 2012)...Recorded 1953...aka "King of the Yodellers"George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic live at 38th Montreux Jazz Festival 2004"Bustin' Loose" was a hit song for Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers. Released from the LP of the same name in late 1978, it spent four weeks at the top of the R&B singles chart in early 1979 and peaked at number thirty-four on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Chuck Brown (August 22, 1936 -- May 16, 2012) was a guitarist and singer who was affectionately called 'The Godfather Of Go-go'. Go-go is a subgenre of funk music developed in and around Washington, D.C. in the mid- and late 1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Brown was widely regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music. Brown's musical career began in the 1960s playing guitar with Jerry Butler and The Earls Of Rhythm, joining Los Latinos in 1965. "Bustin' Loose" has been adopted by the Washington Nationals baseball team as its home run celebration song, and was interpolated by Nelly for his 2002 number one hit "Hot In Herre". He has influenced other go-go bands such as Big G & The Backyard Band, Rare Essence, Experience Unlimited (EU), Little Benny & The Masters, and Trouble Funk. Brown was considered a local legend in Washington, D.C., and has appeared in television advertisements for the Washington Post newspaper and other area companies. He received his first Grammy Award nomination in 2010 for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for "Love" with Jill Scott and Marcus Miller, from the album "We Got This". Since the early 1970s, Brown exclusively played a blonde Gibson ES-335, which is affectionately referred to as 'Blondie'. Chuck Brown died on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital of multiple organ failure including heart failure. He was 75 years old. Several weeks prior to his death, he had postponed and canceled shows due to hospitalization for pneumonia.

Lyric: As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing The tune about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are saying It brings mem'ries when I was a trustful wife It was't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong [ fiddle ] It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start most ev'ry heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It was't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrongThis video collage was lovingly put together by Orleans' alumnus drummer (and all around good guy) Charlie Shew, to whom we are extremely grateful. Set to the hauntingly beautiful "Time Passes On", written by John and Johanna Hall and recorded for Orleans' "Let There Be Music" album of 1975, it depicts many of the happier moments in this gifted musician's life. Larry was well-loved and highly-respected as a great musician --- multi-instrumentalist player, singer, songwriter, band leader, producer --- but also as a brother, father and friend. He was also a great humanitarian activist with a big heart. Larry left us suddenly on July 24th, 2012. We who are left behind miss him. Although we know life is eternal and he has merely changed venues, we mourn the loss to this earthly plane. We grieve. We survive the shock. We honor his memory by keeping on keeping on. With the return to the fold of co-founder John Hall, re-joining co-founder Lance Hoppen and mainstays Lane Hoppen, Charlie Morgan and Dennis "Fly" Amero, Orleans has committed itself to (at least) finish the 2012 calendar of scheduled performances. What happens after that is an open question. If you wish to honor Larry's memory, you may do so by making a donation to your local food bank in his name, as feeding the hungry was one of his passions. He would like that very much.
