From GoMemphis.com:
“Memphis Christian rock pioneer Dana Key, one-half of the best-selling duo DeGarmo & Key, founder of two important gospel music labels and in his later years, founder and pastor builder of The Love of Christ Church in Cordova, died Sunday night at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville.
Key, who had had a history of blood clots, was taken to the hospital at about 8 p.m. after complaining of pain in his legs and died around 9:45 p.m. said his daughter, Scottie Key.
He was 56 years old.
“(Key’s) very first concert was Jimi Hendrix, and he sat in the front row,” said Key’s friend Charles “Buddy” Abbott, a bandmate in the high school group Globe. “He used to breakout at our shows, and you’d think Hendrix was playing. He was playing behind his back and with his teeth and all that.”
