Title: RIP Dan Peek of America
Post by: RGMike on July 25, 2011, 01:41:00 PM

can't find a detailed obit link anywhere, but this came up on FB via "Hits Of Yesteryear". His own website says he "went to heaven yesterday" (he was a fundie, apparently).

Nice clip of "Lonely People" on which he sang lead:

so, an excuse for AL to hit 1974 this week?  ;)

Apparently all that's currently known is he was found dead in bed in his Missouri home. Autopsy pending.
