A friend sent me the same link to Herb Kent's passing and later included a link to a 45 that Herb Kent did a spoken vocal on. (I actually have the 45 and had forgotten about the vocal side.

Oh no!  My wife will be so sad and her mother even more so.  A true Chicago legend.  Almost every time I went over, I would hear him on the radio.  I'm glad he was healthy enough to be broadcasting right to the end.
