I was saddened to read that Emitt Rhodes, vocalist and guitarist in 1960's group, the Merry-Go-Round has passed away. Rhodes was 70. He died on Sunday in his sleep. His death was announced by his friend and producer, Chris Price. His 1967 debut self-titled album included songs, "You're A Very Lovely Woman" and "Live." I remember those songs very well from my junior high school days in Los Angeles. I thought he had a great voice and very talented. I still know all the lyrics to both songs. I really liked them alot! Always sang along when they came on the radio in my little junior high school girl voice. Article of his passing in the Los Angeles Times, July 22, 2020. (Calendar section of the newspaper.) R.I.P. Emitt Rhodes
