Eddie Fisher (1928-2010)

The news has just come over the wires of the passing of singer Eddie Fisher at the age of 82. Fisher scored a number of pop hits in the 50's, including "Any Time", "On the Street Where You Live", and "Oh My Papa", the latter of which we'll present here.



Fisher's also as well known for his marriages to actresses Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, & Connie Stevens. His youngest daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher, even had a brief career as a pop singer in the late 80's-early 90's, but to today's generation, Fisher is probably better known as the father of "Princess Leia" (actress-author Carrie Fisher, "Star Wars").

Rest in peace, Eddie. You'll be missed.
