“Montego Bay” #8 11/28/1970

There are sad stories in rock history, and Bobby Bloom’s story is right up there. He co-wrote “Mony Mony” which helped him land a gig collaborating with producer Jeff Barry. This would be his only hit as a performer. Such a happy song, but Bobby suffered from depression and was found to have accidentally killed himself in 1974 while cleaning his gun. His family disputed that finding, claiming it was a homicide.
