Hank Medress, the founder of The Tokens, who had many hits including the all time classic The Lion Sleeps Tonight, has passed away after a long illness with lung cancer. He was also the producer of He's So Fine by The Chiffons, as well as Candida, Knock Three Times, and Tie A Yellow Ribbon, all by Tony Orlando and Dawn. My friend Artie Wayne had a long interview with Hank last October 31st that I am sure you will find very interesting. Click here to read this fascinating interview.
Artie, thank you for passing on this sad news to me.
Michael
