Everyone equates the Smothers Brothers to their folk songs and comedy. Little know fact. They were also avid drag racers with an Oldsmobile Super Stock car and competed in many national events in the early 60's

I really enjoyed his/their comedy and singing.
And, of course, his character the Yo-Yo Man.

Sad news. Both were great people. Sure brought a lot of laughs from my folks, and I'm sure many other people as well.

Sad to hear. Imagine we will see a lot on TV regarding him and with his brother. Prayers and thoughts to family and friends.
