RIP Dan Peek of America

[RGMike]

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? 

[Wayback]

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