Russell Smith has passed away at the age of 70-Smith was the lead singer of the Amazing Rhythm Aces-In the summer of 1975,this Tennessee based group reached the top forty for the first & only time with their hit song "Third Rate Romance"-The obituary in Wednesday's edition of the NY Times mentioned that "Third Rate Romance" has also been covered by Elvis Costello & Rosanne Cash-"Third Rate Romance" is a great song that doesn't receive recurrent airplay.
