OT: Johnny Tillotson Dead at 86

[RUhasarrived]

His 1960 hit "Poetry In Motion"reached only No.2 on Billboard,kept out of the top spot by the King and Ray Charles respectively,but there's scarcely a septuagenarian who doesn't still remember it.He appeared on a show just 2 years ago and if you close your eyes and just listen you'd think that Ike was still chipping golf balls on the White House lawn.

Gotta admit that this one doesn't ring a bell. I looked him up because Poetry in Motion also didn't ring a bell, but this cover of The Penguins hit did.

The only way I had any clue about this, there was a professional wrestler known as the Red Rooster, they would say he was Poultry in motion.
