Subject: Singer Andrew Gold (59) passes away

Written By: Henk on 06/07/11 at 1:30 am

Singer-songwriter, producer and multi instrumentalist Andrew Gold has passed away in his sleep at the age of 59. :(

In the late 1970's, Gold scored hits with "Lonely Boy" and "Never Let Her Slip Away", and of course he also sang the original version of  "Thank You For Being A Friend" (which was used as the opening theme for Golden Girls).
In 1983, he joined forces with Graham Gouldman (formerly of 10CC) to form Wax. The two scored international hits with "Right Between The Eyes" and "Bridge To Your Heart".

Gold is survived by his wife and three daughters, as well as his mother.

Ah, that's too bad!  I really loved "Lonely boy" and "Thank you for being a friend"
I don't remember the Wax songs (I checked them out on youtube)
