Resurgent Soul Singer Howard Tate Dies At 72
TRENTON, New Jersey - Soul singer Howard Tate, has died at age 72.
Tate died of natural causes at his apartment in Burlington City, county medical examiner's spokesman Ralph Shrom said.
Tate was born in Macon, Georgia, and grew up in Philadelphia, where as a teenager he sang with the doo-wop group The Gainors. He was a rising star in the music world who later suffered through decades of such extreme darkness that his long-time producer figured he was dead before having career resurgence and receiving a Grammy nomination in 2004.
