This is so sad, he had an amazing voice you could always identify.
Here is a great song with Earl, and Keith, Brotherly Love.

Godspeed Earl Thomas

A voice that made you want to listen.

Many just liked him for who he was.

We did some package shows with Earl Thomas in the mid 80s. He was always down to earth and decent to be around.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing and my prayers go out for he and his family.

Oh no, not another great talent leaving us! He and Jim Glaser had some great music in the '80's. I listen to his recordings often, So sad.
