Songwriter Dennie Linde Passes Away
Very sorry to hear this news...my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends...
I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Linde's passing. He was still cranking out hits right up to the end. It was nice to see his songs continuing to pop up in the charts.
The contribution of great songwriters to the career of EP cannot be overstated.
R.I.P Linde and thank you for Burning love.
All the best for your family.:'(
May he rest in peace.
