The news that Philadelphia soul singer Bunny Sigler has passed away comes as something of a shock. It was only this August that I enthusiastically reviewed his then newly released single Angel Eyes. That I don't normally review singles says much for this one and for Bunny Sigler. I was knocked out and eagerly looked forward to the album that it was to be part of.
Too little, too late, I should have checked him out years ago. Maybe not a jazz singer (whatever that is!) but he could handle a lyric with the best of them.
Bunny Sigler died on October 6. He was 76.
Sadly missed.
Lance.
Obituary.

Quite a big deal on the Northern Soul scene though 'don't make me wait too long' is the only one I can think of at the moment. Was 'Follow your heart' him as well?
He was a jobbing singer and songwriter who did an album at Philly many rate so probably time to check it out.
I'm sure he wrote or co-wrote 'Giving it Back' for Phil Hurt, one of the last really soulful disco records.
