Robert John, the Voice Behind the '70s Hit 'Sad Eyes,' Dies at 79

Robert John, the singer-songwriter behind the chart-topping hit "Sad Eyes," has died. He was 79.

John's son Michael Pedrick confirmed the news of his death to Rolling Stone. John died on Monday, Feb. 24 and there was no immediate cause of death. However, the musician was still recovering from a stroke he experienced several years ago.

“He was a really great dad,” Pedrick told the outlet.

John, who is widely known for "Sad Eyes," entered the Billboard Hot 100 on May 19, 1979 and topped the charts 20 weeks later with the ballad

Absolutely no mention of his performing THE BEST version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (which was also a Top 3 hit) is utterly criminal.....
