Anita Humes of The Essex (1940-2010)

I don't remember having seen her passing reported before, so I was surprised to read today that Anita Humes, the lead singer of The Essex, died on 30th May this year.

As it's where I first owned a copy of the song I'll always associate their biggest hit 'Easier Said Than Done' with the LP "Cruisin' 1963"

Easier Said Than Done was on Tim Rice's American Pie last week (on N. Carolina). I don't believe he mentined Anita Humes' passing.
