The Floaters Singer Larry Cunningham Dies

TUCSON (CelebrityAccess) Larry Cunningham, 67, singer for the R&B group The Floaters, has died.

The Floaters had one crossover hit, “Float On,” filled with astrological signs and cheesy pickup lines. The group evolved from The Detroit Emeralds, formed in 1968, and “Float On” was a 1977 release. The band recorded the song in a garage recording studio.

Cunningham had reportedly been suffering from health problems for years and was hospitalized with chest pains in December.
