    I lived down the street from Chuck Bates in the early sixties. I used to hang around with his sisters. I was eleven or twelve at the time. Chuck was the super star of the neighborhood. I remember being at his house one day and he said to me,"Listen to this song I just wrote." He then sang a verse and chorus of Colleen. Does anyone know whatever happened to him? He was a great guy and I idolized him.
