In a year that has been filled with sad news for the millions of fans of the singing group The Manhattans, we have another piece: Kenneth “Wally” Kelly, the last surviving founding member of the group, has died. Kelly was there at the beginning of the iconic act and remained a member right through to the end of their hit making days in the late ’80s. His death follows the December passings of two other original members, Blue Lovett and Sonny Bivins. Now, only Gerald Alston, the wonderful singer who joined the group in the early 70s and sang lead on their biggest hits, remains from the most popular version of the Manhattans.
