Mike Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Quote Today (Jan. 13), Best Classic Bands received word from veteran music journalist Larry LeBlanc that Taylor’s wife of 52 years, Janee, confirmed his passing. The report indicated that Taylor had been briefly hospitalized a year ago with Covid-19, but had been living at home ever since, under hospice care. Taylor was 82. https://bestclassicbands.com/r-dean-taylor-obituary-indiana-wants-me-1-13-22/ seems there was some delay in confirmation yet more sad news RIP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Tomangoes Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sadly confirmed then. RIP. I remember my older mate of mine going to a butlins holiday in 74/75 as a 15 year old and coming back with TAGIMH and telling the story of this new craze called Northern Soul and how dancers were dancing etc. The journey began, so thank you R Dean Taylor!

The Tempest Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think for many of us out there - that school disco / youth club moment of hearing the opening bars to “ There’s a Ghost in my House “ and seeing the older boys and girls hit the dance floor and your thinking “ WTF “ is all this about ! So thank you Mr Taylor and sleep well from a generation who kept your music and memory firmly alive 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Really sad news. I can remember Gotta See Jane playing on the car radio in 1968. I really liked this song even though I was only about 12 at the time. Indiana Wants Me was also a decent track released a couple of years later. I too, like many others, was smitten by There’s A Ghost In My House when it came out in the 70’s. I can distinctly recall it being played on my first trip to the Casino in March 1974 - it was a stunning tune then and is just as enjoyable when you hear it today. R. Dean Taylor will always be a Motown legend for me. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amsterdam Russ Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Before looking, I didn't know R. Dean Taylor had a website. It's very primitive, but - as well as some biographical info - does have two or three pics of him performing in the UK. http://www.rdeantaylor.com Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mssoulie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) This is so sad. Thank you Mr R. Dean Taylor. My music journey which I'm still enjoying to this day all started with TAGIMH.
