Aged 90, an adopted 'Essex man' and admired by Bruce, as I recall.

Sad news.

Buddy was one of the last of the better post-war singers of the American songbook. I got into conversation about him a few weeks ago on Facebook.

He did a storming version of Rodgers and Hart's The Lady Is A Tramp as a hit single and I particularly remember this other live recording (issued as a 45) from the mid-1960s.

RIP, Buddy.
