Bob Crewe RIP
He was a great lyricist.
Less known than all the Four Seasons/Frankie Valli hits was his earlier authorship of "Daddy Cool", initially a b-side for The Diamonds on the single "Silhouettes", later a Herman's Hermits hit, also co-written by Crewe. People of a certain age will know "Daddy Cool" in the 1977 version by Darts.
And he wrote the lyrics for "Lady Marmalade".
