Pookie Hudson Obituary
Hudson died Tuesday of complications from cancer of the thymus at his home in Capitol Heights, Md., his publicist, Bill Carpenter, said Wednesday.
Hudson continued performing into last fall when he learned that his cancer had returned after a remission. His last recordings were done in October for an "Uncloudy Christmas" CD that will be released this fall, Carpenter said.
Hudson's longtime manager, Wellington "Bay" Robinson, said the singer should be remembered for his great writing ability.
Robinson said Hudson wrote "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" ("...well, it's time to go") for a young woman he was dating at the time. "He was staying awful late at the young lady's house and her parents said ... he had to go. As he was walking home, that's what inspired him to write that song."
The Spaniels' signature song was a Top 5 R&B hit in 1954. The McGuire Sisters rushed out a version of "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" that sold even more copies. At the time, only black radio stations played Hudson's version, according to Carpenter.
The Spaniels' version was heard two decades later on the soundtrack of "American Graffiti." Among the Spaniels' other Top 20 R&B hits, Carpenter said, were "Baby, It's You," "Peace of Mind" and "Let's Make Up."
"He really made a blueprint for what a crooner should sound like. It was an unmistakable voice," Carpenter said. "I think that his voice, that smooth tenor, was the voice that influenced Smokey Robinson. It influenced Aaron Neville." Neville said as much in a 1991 New York Times interview, which cited Hudson as an influence along with Clyde McPhatter and Nat King Cole.
Hudson was born Thornton James Hudson on June 11, 1934, in Des Moines, Iowa. The Spaniels first came together at Roosevelt High School in Gary, Ind., where Hudson was raised and began singing in church choirs.
He was homeless for a time after he went solo and hit a slump in the 1960s, but he got back to work in the 1980s. He and fellow former Spaniels took part in some oldies tours, holding down ordinary jobs on the side. He told The Washington Post in 1983 that he continued to write new songs, but audiences "won't let us sing new stuff. That's not what they pay for. But it beats doing nothing."
He began receiving regular royalties for "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" in the 1990s.
The Spaniels were honored in 1991 by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation with an award that carried a $20,000 grant. The group used the money to record their album "40th Anniversary," which was reissued by Collectables Records.
He is survived by his wife, Delores, nine children and 16 grandchildren.

I really miss my uncle Pookie! He was a soft spoken man but he was wonderful. My dad Alvin Wheeler sang with him for many years. As a matter of fact my dad sang "Baby Sweets". I grew up listening to all of their music and taking advice from them all. I listen to them rehearse nd attended many shows. I miss all of my godfathers that passed away in the group. I still listen to their music all the time. I'm glad I have wonderful memories of them all!

Thank you Pookie for ever opening your lips and singing. You have blessed millions of us. Your voice will ring out for decades tom come. My condolences to the family on your loss. Thank you for sharing Pookie with us.

A TRIBUTE TO "POOKIE"
"POOKIE WAS "THE SOUL OF A MAN" AND ONE GREAT "SUPERSTAR"
HE IS RESTIN' IN PEACE SOMEWHERE AFAR
HIS VOICE WAS UNIQUE HE WAS A "NATURAL MAN"
HE ENJOYED BEING AROUND "GROOVY PEOPLE" HE HAD MAJIC IN HIS HANDS.
HE WAS "FOREVER YOUNG" HE WAS ALWAYS THE SAME
BACK IN THE DAY HIS SONGS MADE A GIANT CHANGE
"GOODNITE SWEEHEART GOODNITE" HAD PEOPLE "DANCIN' IN THE STREET"
HE WAS SMOOTH LIKE THE "ICE MAN" HE WAS SMOOTH ON HIS FEET.
I REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY HE HAD SISTAS AND BROTHERS DOIN' THE "SLOWDRAG" AND THE "BOP"
HE HAD YOUNG GUYS STANDIN' ON THE CORNER AND SINGIN' ON EVERY BLOCK
"GOODNITE SWEETHEART GOODNITE" WAS THE THEME SONG WHEN I LIVED IN THE HOOD
THE BELATED "BIG MOE" MY BROTHER "JOE" AND OTHER YOUNG BROTHERS KEPT "GOODNITE SWEETHEART" ALIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
NO MORE "STORMY WEATHER" FOR "POOKIE" HE HAS A "ROOM WITH A VIEW"
HE MADE IT TO THE "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" WITH BETTER THINGS TO DO
HE IS RESTIN' IN HEAVEN "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"
POOKIE WAS ALL THAT AND A WONDERFUL MAN TO KNOW.
"I CAN UNDERSTAND IT" THAT POOKIE NEEDED SOME REST
HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON HE GAVE HIS FANS THE BEST
HIS PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED AND HIS FAMOUS HAT THAT HE WORE
SINGERS LIKE POOKIE HUDSON DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.
HERE'S TO YOU MR. HUDSON THANKS FOR PUTTIN' UP A GREAT FIGHT
YOU HAVE A "PEACE OF MIND" SO I WILL SAY "GOODNITE POOKIE GOODNITE"
YOU ARE IN A BETTER AND HIGHER EXISTENCE YOUR PERMANENT HOME
YOU ARE PROBLEM FREE YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE.
YOU WILL BE MY "SHINING STAR" AND MY "GUIDIN' LIGHT"
I WILL GIVE YOU A STANDIN' OVATION FOR FIGHTIN' A GOOD FIGHT
YOU CAN "WALK AROUND HEAVEN" AND LET YOUR LITTLE LIGHT SHINE
THANK YOU MR. HUDSON FOR BEING A FAVORITE SINGER OF MINE.
ONE OF YOUR FANS AND SISTA-IN-CHRIST,

To the family of Pookie Hudson,
Words can not express the loss of a loved one, especially Pookie. I know that Pookie is in heaven. I will miss seeing Pookie on the front porch, getting that morning, afternoon and evening smoke. One day, I was walking my dog Spice, he asked me to bring her over for a visit, she enjoyed her visits as much as he did. I will miss him looking out for me in the neighborhood. I will especially miss my waves of hello and goodbye and him saying, Hey, Baby.
Your family will always be in my prayers. May God Bless You.

Mr. P;
I wiil never forget that special night that you introduced yourself to me, that was the moment I realized the man behind the song was responsible for how I became to be.
You sat on your porch waving each day, such a gentle man with a soft spoken voice.
Mr. P, thank you many times over for the personal memorabilia that I so humbly embrace and your music no doubt will always send tears rolling down my face.
At their tender ages, little Tyler, Juwan, & Kayla have history that they yearn of a legendary giant which took me down many paths to learn.
We will miss you sitting on the porch but during our life time we will forever burn your legendary torch.
Thank you for all you gave me and inspired me to be, the man with the voice we know as Mr. P.
Good Night Sweetheart, Good Night;
Antwan, Lil Tyler, Juwan, & Kayla

To: The family of Pookie Hudson
May God Bless And Comfort You
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.
At times like this when we don’t know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won’t do and you don’t know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way
When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won’t do
May God bless and comfort you
Miss Milly

As a teenager in the fifties, I Remember EVERY party,dance & wedding ending with "Good night,Sweetheart,Good night," While others may have tried to duplicate the song, NO ONE could or would ever sound like the original by Pookie Hudson & The Spaniels.
May he now be singing with all the other greats of that wonderful era that have gone before him.
Goodnight,Pooke,Goodnight.
Sympathy to his family,friends & many fans.

Delores my sympathy to you on the loss of Pookie. One thing that will help you get through this situation is God's word the Bible. And there He assures us: "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. The Bible holds out a hope of you seeing Pookie again right here on a paradise earth in the very near future. It also gives us comfort knowing that our enemy Death will be done away with. May these words give you a measure of comfort and strength to endure in this time of such deep sorrow.
