Saddened to hear that Harvey Fuqua passed away on 6th July 2010. As founder and lead vocal with The Moonglows from 1952 - 1958 (when he was replaced by Marvin Gaye) he enjoyed much success in the 50's with such huge hits as 'Ten Commandments of Love'and 'Sincerely'. Harvey appeared with The Moonglows in Rock Rock Rock and solo in Go Johnny Go. He remained as the Moonglows manager until 1960 when he moved in to production and later formed the Motown label with his wife.
Harvey re-formed The Moonglows in the early 70's and continued singing at revival type shows through to 2009 (or possibly later). I got to see him at the Viva Las Vegas weekender in 2009 and his voice was as strong as ever.
