Austin Roberts dies

Unread post by matt1 »

Singer songwriter Austin Roberts has died at 79 years old on November 1. The songs "Something's Wrong With Me" in late 1972 & "Rocky" (NOT the movie theme) in the Summer of 1975 were Top 40 hits. He wrote songs for "Scooby Doo Where Are You" on Saturday morning during the 2nd Season in late 1970. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Roberts_(singer)

He also had a Top 50 hit with "Keep On Singing," which was later a bigger hit when covered by Helen Reddy in 1974.
