[CNN story](http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/16/johnfred.obit.ap/index.html) The writer and singer of one the greatest one hit wonders, “Judy in Disguise (with glasses)”, has died. That’s one of my favorite songs. Rest in peace, Mr. Gourrier. ---

If someone had asked me who sang/wrote that song, I would never in a million years have been able to answer it. I always thought it was by Lovin’ Spoonful or some 60’s group like that. Was a great song, though… ---

Still have ‘Judy in Disguise’ on an old 45 vinyl record. Just might put it on the turntable tonight to pay my respects.
