Jody Reynolds, RIP

Jody Reynolds, the creeped-out rockabilly singer and songwriter, who gave us the killer 'Endless Sleep', and ushered in a wave of tragic teen pop songs, died November 7th. He was 75.

Reynolds, who was inducted into Nashville's Rockabilly Hall of Fame in '99, died in Palm Desert, said his musician friend Alan Clark, who toured with Reynolds in the 1980s.

'Endless Sleep', which sold more than a million copies in '58, kicked off the melodramatic teen tragedy genre (think 'Teen Angel', 'Tell Laura I Love Her' and 'Leader of the Pack') which enabled Reynolds to continue to write and record his songs while supporting his family.
