RIP - Edd "Kookie" Byrnes

Edd Byrnes, who played cool characters on 1950s' TV show "77 Sunset Strip" and the 1978 movie "Grease", passed away on January 8, 2020 at age 87.

He was never far from his trademark comb, neither as the fast-talking parking lot attendant on "77", nor the high school dance emcee in "Grease".



I found a 45 of his signature song at a used record store several years ago.
