darlene Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ah, very sad. He was young. I knew about the songs, but didn't know about the jingles he wrote. RIP, Tom. We'll miss you. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, that is sad to hear. I remember buying each of those singles when I was a kid. I liked "Turn Down Day" myself....neat sitar in it. The Cyrkle were also a part of The Beatles' last American tour in 1966. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I adore "Red Rubber Ball". Just a fun song. Heard it on the radio in the car one day with hubby and I sang every word. He was like, "You know every word of that song and it's the first time I've ever heard it!" He's a little younger than me! RIP..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Nathan Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Jeez. Tom produced two of the early FOGHAT albums that I promoted. Very nice guy. Sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
