Title: RIP Liam Clancy, Irish singer, 74
Post by: Wayback on December 06, 2009, 11:50:27 AM
Irish balladeer Liam Clancy, 74, last of the Clancy Brothers troupe whose feisty, boozy songs of old Ireland struck a sentimental chord worldwide, died Friday in a Cork hospital.  With his brothers, he inspired the rise of U.S. folk music. Bob Dylan called him 'the best ballad singer I'd ever heard in my life.'
