Such a great sorrow to read of The Great Tompall's passing, I have been a fan for over 30 years. I still remember my sister and I fighting over one of his albums at a record store- it was the only copy available that day, happy to say I won the record! and still proudly own it. Tompall and the Glaser Brother's will always be my favorite country group.

I grew up in Spalding in the same era as the "Glaser's.They were great entertainers, their harmony matched no one else's in the business. Tom Paul will be missed. My sympathy to his family.
