I was always ambivalent about the Kinkster, never really deciding whether his talent overshadowed his silliness or vice versa. RIPTributes Pour in for Country Music Star Dead at 79

Douglass Fake, Prolific Soundtrack Producer, Has Died at 72
I started collecting motion picture soundtrack recordings relatively late in life. Very quickly I learned that the best releases appeared on
Intrada Records.
Somehow this label was able to locate, license and produce rare original underscores, most of which hadn't been heard since the films were exhibited. Doug Fake was the person most responsible for this treasure trove. Just as Michael Cuscuna and Charlie Lourie did with jazz on Mosaic Records, Doug combined a deep love of the music with an entrepreneurial spirit that enabled him to persuade reluctant or indifferent conglomerates to open their vaults. The whole fascinating story is in the link at the top of this post.

I didn't realize he was from NC. Also didn't recognize which song that was until I searched for it. Before my time, but I bet I've heard that a thousand times.I didn’t realize that Maurice also sang lead on “Little Darlin’” by the Gladiolas.Maurice Williams, Writer and Lead Singer of “Stay,” Dies at 86
