Sad news. Marilyn was a huge fan of his, she wanted to go and see him - unfortunately we couldn't get tickets. She still has a lot of his records, mostly on vinyl and cassette.

He had a unique voice, and was a pretty good songwriter too.

Another good man gone.

:( :( :(

Rest in peace Gene.

"24 Hours From Tulsa" His greatest and most memorable to me.

What a unique voice!! that will be sadly missed.

That's sad. He was on the radio a lot when I was a kid

You have to wonder how the people, who were at his concert on Tuesday night, feel. They see him in concert, go home, go to bed and wake up to the news that he's dead - must be slightly eerie.
