ICON DEAD – With heavy hearts, we announce the passing, When you find out who he is, you will cry!

From the raw energy of “Go All the Way” with The Raspberries to the emotional pull of “Hungry Eyes,” his work carried a kind of honesty that never felt forced. It didn’t rely on complexity or technical display. It worked because it was real. He understood something a lot of artists spend their whole careers chasing—that the simplest emotions, when expressed truthfully, are the ones that stay with people the longest.
