Larry Chance

Hey Larry, thought of you today. You were such a big part of the old Bronx back in the good old days. Just wanted to say "Thank you" for all the great music and memories you´ve given us my friend. Gone but never forgotten may you rest in peace.... remember then

I am so sad to hear of his passing I loved his voice until today I still listen to him every night on my Alexa

Sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. He was friends with my late brother in law Victor who also had a band in the 50´s to 60´s when music was great. My favorite was his rendition of "I Believe"

Larry, I miss the phone calls we had together and miss your mother´s pork chops and spaghetti!!!!

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Larry was a wonderful gentleman and singer and at times also took a swing at being funny and he succeeded. I was Blessed to see him in concert probably close to 15 times over the years. Like him, I am a cancer survivor (3x) and we spoke several times about our trials and tribulations in dealing with the disease. Every time he sang the song, "I Believe",
tears would start streaming down my cheeks. How I miss guys like him. God Bless and Rest In Peace.

Great voice and performer, will be missed.

I saw them at one of Murray the K's shows in the early 60's at the Brooklyn Fox always loved Remember.

Growing up in the 50s and 60s was magic and anything was possible. Remember Then means a lot today as " Then " was everything. This song tells so many things. RIP Larry. Radio Engineer Dave Schneider

Larry Chance (RIP) sang at my 80th Birthday. He was a year behind me at Evander Childs High School in the Bronx. NY. It was at this school he formed the "Hi-Hatters" who eventually became the "Earls". I knew Larry having been in the music business, as an outstaning performer coupled with a reputation as a wonderful loving person, which was so well deserved.

Larry and I were chatting on line for a few years before we met in North Jersey in 2016. He was such an amazing person. I am honored he considered me a friend.

Larry I miss you so much. I missed you singing happy birthday to me last week. I love you. I wish heaven had a phone. Until we meet again...

we went together with the crew to a Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. He got up and sang a accappella. He always send nice things about me. He was a good friend. May he R.I.P.

Friends over 55 years the Riviera Lounge, Fantasy East and my house on Murdock! Will miss you brother! See you in rock n roll heaven! Leo

I met him street singing when I was 11. He was so kind and talented

I last saw him when Larry Chance and The Earls played in Pittsburgh, PA. He had magic in his voice and he was a wonderful person. We talked on line and exchanged music. Heaven just got the best front man for Gods magical choir ... May he R.I.P. I miss him already

I first placed a call to Larry after his recovery from throat cancer. He gracious returned my call. We talked about music and favorite cars. Larry´s dream car had always been a 1949 Mercury. I searched my collection of promo cars, located a 1949 black Mercury and mailed to him. We kept in contact through the years. He once arranged to meet me in Detroit and requested I come back stage to personally meet him. He was a fantastic performer and wonderful man. God bless you my dear friend.

Sorry deeply sorry Nicole &

My sister and I have seen him
In concert over many years. Great entertainer. My sincere condolences. RIP Larry

My heart hurts for the lost of a old dear friend

We talked on line
Almost every day he would send me songs. I would send him songs I also like. Country and some Etta James. We liked the same things. I found out he passed away because I didn’t hear from him for a few days. My heart goes out to his loved ones. I last saw him when the band played in Pittsburgh, PA. R.I.P. dear friend. Til we meet again

Larry I was so fortunate to have gotten your personal autograph several years ago you were the best I listen to your song over and over again and never get tired rest in peace my friend

Since 2017, I went to every concert. His voice was better with age. He will be missed for eternity.

I was a fan of Larry´s in the 60s when I was lead singer for a rock group here in St a Louis Mo and have followed you till you´re passing. I for the last 10 years have always started my karaoke nights singing Remember Then. Always one of my influences RIP and maybe sometime in future I will fulfill a dream and harmonize with one of the greatest front man and singer. Lee Johnson

I saw Larry chance a few years ago at the Cerritos of the Performing Arts in California he was terrific and such a beautiful voice and such a blessing but again it was God's choice to take him to heaven now he could sing with them up in heaven my condolences to the family

I met Larry when I was married to Jimmy Russo from Lenny Coco and the Chimes during the early 2000's attending all the Doo-Wop shows. I would like to say that Larry was a funny and fun-loving man who had such passion for the music. We had good laughs together. Larry I know that you're singing Doo-Wop in Heaven. From a Bronx gal to a Bronx boy Larry may you rest in Peace until we meet again.

Meeting him backstage, and getting a picture signed! What a fantastic individual. Huge loss for us as fans.

I saw Larry and the Earles at the Academy of music with Gus Gossart and a place in Queens called community Garden back in early 70´s May he RIP

Larry, Miss You Pally!!! We talked everyday..I still have you on Messenger and it's so hard not to send you pictures, Doo Wop and Oldies news, The Mets and Baseball standings!! All the Songs you sent me and I listened to are in my Heart! You were so sweet and caring....I'm worried about Niko~ Have you seen Johnny Maestro, Your Favorite Singer? (Hope you're having a great time and enjoying a Cream Cheese Omelet!!) I'm remembering the Exciting Show on PBS where you Performed, "Remember Then," ..Your Audience was Thrilled, Standing Ovation of course!!) ...sending a Purple Heart your way!!! Until we talk again ~ ~ Thank You Larry, Pally!!!!!

Condolences to family, friends and fans. His music is a part of my youth. Knowing him as a promoter was a pleasure. This gave me a chance to know him as a person. May his journey crossing over be safe and peaceful. Thank you Larry for sharing your music.

I had the pleasure if working with Larry and the Earls many years ago at the Granite Resort in Kerhonksen, NY. I got to know him pretty well and went to many of his shows because I enjoyed his music and his sincerity. I went to see Don Imus perform his last live concert at the Westchester Premiere Theater. Larry was there to see his friends last performance. I spent some time with Larry as he always remembers folks he worked with. Not many people know this but Larry played the character Geraldo Santana Banana on the Imus in the morning show for many years. You will be missed.

I´ve followed the Ealrls from their beginning. Seen them many times in Yonkers. He is already missed. God be with you, Larry.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Larry was a great singer and Heartfelt condolences to the Chance family, May God be with you all in your time of loss.

Dec.27, 1980 we shared the stage at the beacon theatre for a xmas special with my band playground, 40 years ago, wow. Great show.

Larry Chance was my best idol. There will never be another human being like him. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Chr Nicole and all his family and fans. Rest In Peace

My condolences to his family and thank them for sharing him with us all these years. I first heard Mr. Chance on PBS he sang "I Believe" I've been a fan every since.

You are going to be missed

I can´t believe that I will never see you again, that you will never call me again, that I can never call you again. My heart is not just broken, it´s in pieces. I lost my best friend, my rock, you meant the world to me. What I wouldn´t give to hear your voice again, another joke, another hug, to hear your laugh, to hear you sing to me. I keep replaying a voicemail you left me where you are singing Call Me, Don´t Be Afraid to Just Call Me", but I can´t. You took a part of me with you. You ate forever in my heart. Love you much Chance. Until we meet again.....

My sweet friend,
I was saddened to hear that you went into The Light when I woke up in the morning. We’ve been friends for 40+ years and I’ll forever miss you.
My Prayers for your entire family, friends and fans
I Love You “Chance”
Rest Peacefully
