LFO Summer Girls

Rich Cronin, the bleach-tipped "Summer Girls" songsmith from the late 1990s boy band "LFO," has died. He had leukemia and was 35.

The group's best known song, "Summer Girls" was a top pop tune for most of the summer of 1999 and the single sold more than 1,000,000 units.

The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard chart, mostly due to the catchy melody and syrupy sweet rap solo performed by Mr. Cronin.

"New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits/ Chinese food makes me sick/ And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer."

LFO, which was short for "Lyte Funky Ones," had some success with their second single, "Girl on TV." The music video for that song featured a cameo by Jennifer Love Hewitt.
