I recall  reading his obituary in Variety when he died.  I believe it  was  
written by Jim Walsh.  I don't recall seeing a comment on his  passing  
anywhere else.  If not for Walsh, there might have been  no obit at  all.  
His 
death was considered of no significance to  the general  reader of 
newspapers.

One has to search hard for  obits of Ada Jones and other recording artists  
we care about, unless  they had careers in other  media.
