Farewell, Speedo

Earl Carroll, the doo-wop singer best remembered as the lead vocalist with The Cadillacs who recorded their legendary 1955 hit "Speedo," which became "Mr. Earl's" nickname, passed away on Sunday at a New York City nursing home at the age of 75.

Mr. Carroll had suffered a stroke and had battled against diabetes.

Here is the Cadillacs 1955 hit recording of "Speedo."

Rest in peace, Speedo.
