I worked with him a few times back in the 80's. He was a cool guy, I always felt. RIP Kenny.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

That's sad... I loved him back in the 70's, maybe early 80's, and then he was kinda gone... Thought he was a great singer and had some really good song... Always thought he should've been a Gospel Singer, his harmonies were some of the best.

I don't know if he had any underlying conditions. Friends described him as a picture of health.

I'm sorry to hear this. I too worked for Kenny back in the "You're in Love with the Wrong Man" days. Early 80's.
Sad to hear, great singer and a good entertainer. RIP.
