Donnie Brooks - R.I.P.

Donnie Brooks, who had the big hits Mission Bell, Doll House and Memphis in the early '60s, passed away in California on February 23 after a heart attack that followed a lengthy illness. He also appeared in movies such as A Swingin' Summner with Raquel Welch and Get Yourself A College Girl with Nancy Sinatra.

I saw Donny perform a few years ago in the Vancouver area when he was MC for an oldies show at the Cloverdale Fair Grounds that included Dick and Dee Dee. He was a good entertainer. R.I.P.
