Rest In Peace Eddy Zack.The George Jones song "Who's gonna fill their shoes" seems appropriate.

Sam,
Just heard about it this morning from Keith Bradford. I met Eddie when I was "DJ'in" back in the '50's,in Mass. He,personally,came by the station,(WJKO,East Longmeadow) & gave me a complete set of his 45's on Columbia. To this day,I still have them,plus a couple on the "Rhode Island" label. I'm going to compilate them on to 1 CD.
He was,definitely,a LEGEND in the Northeast,& will be sadly missed. My condolences to his entire family & friends.

Eddie was a Legend for the business and I remember the Saturday nights on WPRO channel 10" With Dick Richards (Cousin Richy) Great voice And Eddie had a great steel way back in them days too..Influenced a lot of RHode Islanders and Mass people. Job well done Eddie Rest in Peace and enjoy the heavenly band.
