Chris L Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Sad to report that Norman Donegan the very last surviving member of the Ad Libs passed away yesterday.

I was assuming it was he on the right? Great group which can be under appreciated on our scene in the quest for rarity and obscurity. The CD with all the out takes is great listening.

Here's a great example of that with this single, lady on the left is Eller Weas Little from the Spellbinders.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mal C Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) WOW, never seen those pics of the Ad Libs before, where / when were they taken? obviously in a studio:[-/ My favorite is that acetate cut 'Love Is Knocking' bell sound acetate, so it may have had a vinyl release??
