Saddened to hear of the passing of Vancouver rocker and chart topper Jerry Doucette. He rode a wave of artists that recorded hit LPs at Mushroom Records studio (his 1st LPs were on Mushroom’s label) following Heart’s Dreamboat Annie and Chilliwack. Will give him a spin today. pic.twitter.com/imuANu0bNP
