'Tis the season to be jolly, with 8 days to Christmas, but it also 'tis the season to be mourning.
Lost amidst the media coverage of the death of actor-filmmaker Rob Reiner, singer Carl Carlton had passed away on Sunday as well. Carlton's biggest hit was 1974's "Everlasting Love", but after "She's a Bad Mama Jamma", Carlton disappeared from the charts. He passed away on Sunday at 72.
Texas singer-songwriter Joe Ely was a regular guest on PBS' Austin City Limits, such as this 1979 performance:
Ely, 78, had collaborated with a diverse number of artists, including Bruce Springsteen, the Clash, & Jimmie Dale Gilmore. He passed after suffering from Lewy's Body disease.
Finally, Gil Gerard, 82, who brought Buck Rogers to life in 1979 for a 2 season run, died Tuesday due to complications from cancer. His 3rd wife, Janet, posted a message on social media. In addition to Buck Rogers, Gerard's resume includes a stint on the daytime soap, The Doctors, and guest appearances on shows such as Hawaii Five-0, Days of Our Lives, Brotherly Love, and Pacific Blue. His last starring series was 1986's Sidekicks.
Rest in peace.
