R.I.P. Ira Tucker

One of the greatest gosepl singers of the past half century has departed. Ira Tucker sang for the Dixie Hummingbirds, who have been around since 1928, 10 years before Ira came aboard.

The group came to widespread attention in the 1970s, when they appeared on Paul Simon's classic tune "Loves Me Like a Rock".
