So sad.  Knew he was dealing with Alzheimers.  Made some memorable hits in 60s and o'course the Johnny Crawford Dance Orchestra.

I remember him well in the Rifleman.  I have been learning about songs from the twenties and thirties and would love to hear that JC Orchestra album above. 

I found this clip on youtube of Johnny singing 'live' with pianist extraordinaire Peter Mintun and I love it.
