R.I.P EUGENE

[@YBM2007]

Rest easy, Eugene. The music of The Jets brought me through a difficult time in my early 20s, the perfect antidote to depression

[@arthurseymorejr.3606]

I just learned today that Eugene passed away 3 months ago . I'm in shock to learn this but I want to send my deepest condolences to his family and friends . Sending prayers and lots of love to the family . RIP Eugene .

[@oj181]

rip eugene..rest in power

[@bebawynn777]

Wow cant believe he passed. I loved the jets and boys club..

[@gabrielalbert6520]

I enjoyed the podcast very much. I’m gonna give you props Eugene for your lead vocals on the Jets’ debut album, “Love Umbrella”, “Heart On The Line”, “Right Before My Eyes” and “Mesmerized.” Love all those songs. Glad to see and hear that you got married to a beautiful wife, who I can tell, keeps you in check and are a father to four wonderful kids. In closing, you and your family gave us some of the best pop music in the 80s. Thanks for your work not only with The Jets but Boys Club as well. Take care and God bless to you and your family.

[@genehunt7778]

WOW THANK YOU SO VERY much for the love and support all these years i`m very excited to get back into the industry May the Lord Bless you and your Family

Love all this Gene, myself and some friends want to see you interview Joe Pasquale and give us the full low down on Boys Club and your experience. Thanks.

[@ericriley4928]

This is really fun to watch - the stories are entertaining (and so is the “host’s” exasperation). 😂 The Elizabeth interview was excellent. Such a powerhouse, truly one of the best voices of the past four decades of pop. Would love to hear one of the OTHER best next: Moana (of course)!

[@genehunt7778]

I`M for sure going to have my siblings on at some point i truly agree with you on elizabeth`s voice

[@EyESkeTch1]

Very Good first introduction, and interview. Keep the hits coming.

[@bebawynn777]

Great interview! Was such a big Jets fan in my teens. Such fun memories of going to your concerts. I remember you folks were staying at the Ilikai Hotel in Hawaii (I don't remember how we found out where you folks was staying) you folks we're so kind to me and my friends. You and Haini was eating mint chocolate chip ice cream cones and I ate it for the first time at the store there and I love it to this day. I dont know why I remembered that but I tell my kids thats why I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. Of corse my adult kids think their momma was weird. Too funny!

[@alexdenny8993]

Rip Eugene 🙏😢

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

Thank you for your show. 😎😍😇

[@genehunt7778]

hopefully the show can gain traction this year

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

@@genehunt7778 Just don't give up. My hubby and I started our KZbin show a little over a year ago and it has been slow to gain our our current 107 subscribers. However, it takes time, patience, and consistency to find your groove and to build your following. Most importantly, just value the subscribers you have, because they are tuning in for a reason. The rest will come in time as long as you hang in there! Wishing you much success and a great 2023! Happy New Year! 😎😍😇

[@nehsangbong7259]

RIP 🙏🏽

[@Dillon36]

Great interview. I'd love to know why you guys changed production teams from the first album. Two more David Z produced albums would have been amazing.
