Having been a DJ at WBLA many years ago… I often think of artists during that time… 60s, 70s and 80s… I stumbled across info related to LeeRoy VanDyke… Remember him? He had numerous hits… including…
‘If a woman answers, hang up the phone”
‘Walk on by, wait in the corner’
‘Honeycomb’
‘The Auditioner’
Country music hits by Van Dyke… He died at the age of 86 in 2020.
