Brooke in 1965

During his WALT years, he recorded one song with a local group called Forvus (4 of us). He was also co- publisher of “Love can Make You Happy” by Mercy. The song sold over 1 million copies in 1969, but resulted in a long dragged out lawsuit with co-publisher Gil Cabot. Brooke was in the US Army in Germany at the time, and had a tough time fighting the lawsuit. It is rumored he did not get one penny from the sales of the record.

A great guy, warm smile, and a heart full of love.
