It was recently announced that singer Lenny Welch passed away at 86. As noted in this obituary in the Asbury Park Press, he was a native of that town. I am looking at my Joel Whitburn book Top Pop Singles and observe that Since I Fell For You was his only Top 10 national hit. He was more popular in the NY/NJ area than he was nationally. Darling Take Me Bake I'm Sorry seen above hit #4 on the WMCA survey in 1965, but only hit #72 in the national Billboard chart.
Condolences to his family and friends.
