Singer-songwriter R.B. Greaves passed away in late September of prostate cancer. He was 68.
I was not aware that he had died until last night when I was watching a YouTube video of him performing his big hit, “Take a Letter Maria” which reached number two on the Billboard charts in 1969.
The nephew of the late Sam Cooke, Greaves also enjoyed minor hits with covers of Bacharach & David’s “Always Something There to Remind Me” (which became a much bigger hit for Naked Eyes in the early 1980s), Procol Harum’s “Whiter Shade of Pale” as well as James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” before disappearing from the public limelight.

"A Whiter Shade Of Pale" has been a hit since J. S. Bach composed the melody in the 1700's.
