  1. MY FATHER WAS THE ORIGINAL SINGER OF OH SWEET SOUL, SAM BROWN SINGERS, GEORGE SAMPIE. PASSED IN APRIL , ONE WEEK AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY, WELL KNOWN CROONER AND KARAOKE SINGER. SANG SONGS LIKE HAIL TO THE MARY, MOTHER OF MAN AND STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN, ITS GONNA BE ROUGH ON US, BUT WE GONNA MAKE IT. LOVED HIM. STILL LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC .
