Remembering Jerry Hadley

 

The death from suicide of tenor Jerry Hadley (left, in 2000's The Song and the Slogan) touched many people in Illinois. Hadley died July 18, two days after he was taken off life support. While his singing career took him around the world, Hadley was an Illinois native who studied music at Bradley University and the University of Illinois. He often returned home to visit, perform and teach. AM 580's Jim Meadows talked with some of Hadley's Illinois friends to gather their memories.
