Jerome Ramos obit

Velours' lead Jerome Ramos Dies

 

He was not on the list.


We broke the sad news of Velours' lead Jerome Ramos' passing a couple weeks ago on our website.  Jerome Ramos died of throat cancer on October 21, 2012 at the age of 75.  His distinct tenor voice can be heard on such group classics as "My Love Come Back," "Romeo," "Can I Come Over Tonight," "This Could Be The Night," "Remember" and "Can I Walk You Home". Ramos also recorded with the late-sixties and seventies soul harmony group, the Fantastics who were also very popular in Great Britain.  We've now posted a tribute page to Jerome Ramos, complete with label scans and YouTubes of many of our Velours favorites so you can hear some of their records.
