CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

Singer Trini Lopez, who enjoyed a heyday in the 1960s with hits including “If I Had a Hammer” and “This Land Is Your Land,” died Tuesday from complications related to coronavirus, collaborators said. He was 83.

Lopez had been in and out of a hospital setting for about six weeks before dying about 5 a.m. at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, California, said songwriting partner Joe Chavira.

Chavira, who said he met Lopez in 2015, said the singer never married and had no children. He received a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 1963.
