Sad news from Gary Lukitsch, our founder.

11/08/2024

This may be old news to some of you, but I just learned that singer Gil Plotkin died in June. He was 78. We were married for a short time in the early 80s. He was a truly nice man. I don't know "what happened," but people do die of natural causes at 78. It makes me sad to know I'll never seen him again, but he had remarried a long time ago, and I hope his life was a happy one.

He and his wife, Cathy Conn, had a Top 10 single with “Reach Out of the Darkness” as Friend & Lover in 1968. It’s still played today, but it was their only hit.
