Rest in Peace, Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five

Sad news today: Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five has died of pneumonia.  Smith had been paralyzed in a fall in his home in Spain a few years back.  He was hoping he would travel to the United States in the next two weeks to see his band get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  He was lead singer and keyboardist.

He was 64 years old.

I used to play The Dave Clark Five's Greatest Hits album (vinyl record) to death when I was a kid growing up in Washington, DC.  This really breaks my heart.

RIP Mike Smith
