Death of Raoul Malo The Mavericks’ frontman dies

 Raul Malo, the Mavericks Singer and Frontman, Dies at 60

Maybe a bit of a one hit wonder The Mavericks hit a short joyous Tex Mex pop country song ‘Dance the night away’

The last time I checked in YouTube found a version that seemed about 6 times 

Longer as Raoul and the crowd didn’t want it to stop so he didn’t . . . .

"Dance the Night Away" was a hit single in the United Kingdom in 1998

He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Betty; (who it was that announced his untimely death after battling colon cancer), also his sons Dino, Victor, and Max, mother Norma, sister Carol, and Mavericks bandmates Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden.

ROGER MILLER REMEMBERED:: Grand Ole Opry Nashville TN1997 - Big O

 

I loved Roger Miller and before I realised he was a country singer and writer we had loved King of The Road and Oodalally from the Robin Hood Cartoon but look at this tribute at the Grand Ole Opry with the glitterati of country (many favourites here!) from Lyle Lovett to Willie Nelson, The Mavericks to Clint Black, Dwight Yoakam to Reba MacEntire 

+ + + + +

This is a tribute show to Roger Miller and his music. Roger Dean Miller Sr (January 2, 1936 - October 25, 1992) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, widely known for his honky-tonk-influenced novelty songs and his chart-topping country and pop hits “King of the Road”, “Dang Me”, and “England Swings”, all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era.
