Reg Presley lead singer of The Troggs ("Wild Thing") died of cancer. He was 71.

The Troggs were one of my favorite bands back in the day. They did a lot more good stuff besides "Wild Thing". Some friends and I formed a garage band in the summer of 1966, when "Wild Thing" came out and that was one song of about a dozen songs we could play. We weren't that good. Anyway, Reg Presley was a hero. RIP.

Also a big Troggs fan and sad to hear of Reg Presley's passing. "With a Girl Like You," "Jingle Jangle," and "Love is All Around" were great songs from the early years. Even into the mid-70s they were doing interesting stuff like "Summertime" and they also did a cool cover of "Good Vibrations"

 

I like the summertime, when the girls wear their dresses so low you can see the sun on their ti. . . ti. . . ti. . . ti. . ti. ti. . . tan skin. . .

 

Pretty risque stuff when I discovered it when I was in 8th grade. :D

Wow, the name was familiar to me as well. Almost forgot about that. Shame that things got to a point (I'm assuming) for her that she felt this was the way to go.

Bill Moody, better known as Paul Bearer...or those of us old enough, Percy Pringle.

 

I just saw him at a wrestling show less than two weeks ago. He wasn't looking great, but I didn't expect him to die any time soon.

Not Beiber, but still a musician. Alvin Lee, front man for Ten Years After and Woodstock fame, dead at 68.

 

CNN story here.

 

 

wow didnt know that he passed. Saw him on TV about a year ago and still played well. Very unique sound out of his guitar. When you heard it you knew it was him.
