Trini Lopez has passed.

The picture I saw of him, I knew who he was right away. Must have been an older picture of him. It said he was 83.

I always like to hear him sing, and sang along with him.

Loved him way back when we listened on radios.

Sad to know he is gone.

Trini was popular when I was growing. May he rest in peace.

If COVID was the cause of death, the news is even more awful. I'll always remember the touching "Lemon Tree."

My heart is broken.

He seemed to be such a sweet fellow.

I enjoyed his music when I was young.

May he rest in peace!

I liked Peter Paul and Mary's versions of Lemon Tree and If I Had A Hammer better. I didn't realize he was still alive until I heard this news earlier today. I hadn't heard anything about him in years. Not a favorite of mine but I'm sorry he has passed.

Well my Mama in heaven is probably very happy! She loved Trini Lopez, we would go see him perform at Atlantic City s Steele Pier! She even made him a lemon cake for his birthday. When we were sitting in the stands watching the diving horse show we could not find my older brother. Turns out we turned around and he was sitting with Trini watching the show. Lol

So sorry to hear Trini Lopez passed of Covid.

Does anyone else remember his restaurants? I lived in Texas back in the 70's and his restaurants were very popular then. Plus, his music was hot hot hot. Loved it!

@qualitygal I didn't realize he was still alive and i would have thought that he was older! I can remember listending to some of his music in the early 1960s.
