Sorry to hear this. I liked his music.
I always thought he sang this song, but it was Hoyt Axton:
‘Della and the Dealer’

“If that cat could talk what tales he’d tell about Della and the Dealer and the dog as well...but the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin’ word.”
Della and the Dealer was first sung by Hoyt on “WKRP IN Cincinnati.”
