In 1966, The Outsiders hit the charts with "Time Won't Let Me". Six years later, music lovers would be reacquainted with Geraci's voice as "Precious and Few" topped the charts for Climax. Geraci would never replicate that success and was away from the music business for decades until he hit the oldies circuit about a decade ago. These two songs, as different as they are, have stood the test of time in no small part due to Geraci's expressive vocals. R.I.P.
