Chad Stuart passed away December 20 after complications from pneumonia.
Born David Stuart Chadwick on December 10, 1941, he paired with Jeremy Clyde to form Chad & Jeremy. Unlike many British Invasion acts with rock and roll leanings, Chad & Jeremy combined a folk base with soft, whispering vocals.
The duo would reach the US Top 40 seven times between 1964 and 1966 with "Summer Song" being their only Top 10. It peaked at #7 in 1964.
After a pair of psychedelic albums in the mid-60s that received critical acclaim but were commercially unsuccessful, the duo parted ways. Jeremy Clyde became successful in the acting business, while Chad Stuart remained in music. He was the music director for "The Smothers Brothers Show" and later became a staff producer at A & M records
There were several reunions for the duo in the 80s including a British Invasion Reunion tour, and a 2 week residency at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in 1987. They were also a part of the West End production of "Pump Boys And Dinettes" in the mid-eighties.
They toured semi-regularly for 15 years during the 2000s and 2010s. Chad retired from music in 2016 to his home in Hailey, Idaho where he lived until his passing,
