Yes, just ran across this on Yahoo! News.
The singer/songwriter originally from Chicago that was best known for his lone top 40 hit from 1978 "Werewolves of London".
After growing up in Chicago, he moved to Los Angeles and formed a duo with Tule Livingston called Lyme & Cybelle. They had one HOT 100 entry in 1966, "Follow Me".
He went on to chart 8 albums in Billboard's top 200 albums, including 2 live sets. He also recorded in a group with 3 of the members of R.E.M. called Hindu Love Gods.
And I had the privilege of going to a summer camp with one of his cousins, Larry.

We'll miss you, Warren. R.I.P.

Someone here at work just told me this.

I remember when Warren was diagnosed, there was a small article in the paper, and he accepted it, and had no fear about it.

My fave was Lawyers, Guns and Money.

RIP Warren.

So sad I just read about it on MSN this afternoon . I remember seeing Warren perform on David Letterman. I've always loved Werewolves of London and Lawyers Guns and Money has always been a big fave .My oldest brother had the Excitable Boy album when I was growing up. Warren also wrote The Turtles' Outside Chance.


RIP Warren

What sad news. There was an article about him in the newspaper here recently which described how he recorded his new album. He was very courageous, and a great talent who will be very much missed.

I just realized I have the Lyme and Cybelle song on the White Whale collection.. It's a great 60's folk-rock song.

Why are all the talented baby-boomer legends dying? It's just not fair......

I like the fact that his final album was sort of a dedication/goodbye letter to his fans. I've heard a little of it, and it's pretty unbelieveable. This man, on his deathbed basically, continued with what he loved until the very end.
