Singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, famed for the soaring vocals and elegant instrumentation of tunes such as “Longer” and “A Love Like This,” died on Sunday, three years after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He was 56.
“He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side,” said a posting on his Web site.
How sad. In college, I was fortunate enough to hear him perform a few times, including a concert in Providence, RI where oddly, my then boyfriend, now ex-husband and I happened to look up into the huge audience and see his brother and sister in the sea of thousands of people.
As stated above, Dan Fogelberg, pretty much provided the song track to my college (and high school) years too.
