Sonny Geraci, who enjoyed much success in the mid 60s and early 70s with his group The Outsiders ("Time Won't Let Me", Help Me Girl") and later Climax ("Precious and Few") has died at age 69. In 2012 he suffered a brain aneurysm and never fully recovered. A bunch of fellow musicians staged a benefit to raise money for him but the funds were stolen and he never received them. Anyone listening to radio back then could not escape hearing his songs which were and still are often played on radio. R.I.P.
