My Sharona http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVdnqEyToqg

Just saw this, and don't think anything was posted about it yet. Sharona is one of my all time favorite songs.

OMG! I had no idea that was the name of the song. I have to laugh due to my hearing impairment. I thought the words were fight to rumble....

LOL

Good song, too bad on his passing....

Sorry to see him go.

Geoffrey Fieger, Doug's brother, is a Detroit area attorney (my attorney at one time) and he is the one that landed the deal for his brother and that song.

I think I saw in the article that another of the band members had died from cancer previously, as well. Sad stuff.

*throws in a Yay! for Jeff*
