Left us on this day (nov. 27) in 1985: Allan Ramsay (plane crash, age 42), best remembered as the original bassist, during their mid-60s hitmaking years, for American nerd-pop band, Gary Lewis & The Playboys (1965 US #1 single This Diamond Ring plus 11 other US Top 40 hits); Alan went into military service in late-66 & never returned to music; he later became a commercial airline pilot, which cost him his life while he was training a new pilot…theres a nice almost Tex-Mex feel & pumping bass line from Allan on this lesser known single! (Trivia - a young Leon Russell worked on arranging & producing many of the early Gary Lewis hits; Gary started performing on both drums & vocals, but session wiz Jim Keltner later augmented on drums in the studio once Gary moved to stage front…)
