Nancy told TMZ that her husband had died due to complications from Parkinson's at his home in LA, surrounded by family.

Tillotson rocketed to stardom in 1960 after releasing his hit single Poetry in Motion.

This peaked at Number 2 on the charts in the US.

He then followed up with Without You the following year, which reached Number 7.

The likes of Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Elvis Presley have covered some of the legend's songs, like Talk Back Trembling Lips, You Can Never Stop Me Loving You, and It Keeps Right on a-Hurtin.

Tillotson's incredible song-writing ability got him nominated for two Grammy's.
