Rock History Deaths From Opposite Ends

Both Denny Doherty and Pookie Hudson affect your record collection more than you know. And both died this week. The former was the best male voice of the Mamas & The Papas. Even though John Phillips wrote 'em, it was Doherty who put over the male vocals. As for Hudson, the lead voice of the Spaniels can count Aaron Neville and Smokey Robinson as fans. A most overlooked Doo-Wop group, but essential. If the Flamingo's can get in the RRHOF on the basis of one classic, then the Spaniels should get a look on their one classic.
