Michael Stanley - RIP

[lastyle7]

One of the best muscians who loved his city (Cleveland), I'll never forget the 100k fans who showed up for a free concert in Cleveland Municipal Stadium parking lot in the Summer of 1984
to 'witness' the Michael Stanley Band. Truly a Classic memory.

Legendary Cleveland band.
Seen them new year's Eve in Cleveland, 1980 I believe.
Never really hit the big time nationally, but huge in Cleveland.

Michael Stanley was 72.

He lost a seven-month battle with lung cancer.

Beware of EOG contributor Woodrow Wilson's warnings about honoring the dead.

I remember them getting some airplay on The Loop in Chicago in the early 80s.

 

[Valuist]

My wife was a big fan. His music still gets airplay in NE Ohio.

For a second I thought former Detroit CF Mickey Stanley died.

At first read I thought he was related to Feed "the chicken" Stanley.
