“Because of his religious beliefs, we’re not even sure what (the illness) was,” [View all]

I just read this quote about the death of the singer Jack Ely. I assume that he was a Christian Scientist.

Or is there another crackpot religion that ignores medicine?


(PORTLAND, Ore.) — Jack Ely, the singer known for “Louie Louie,” the low-budget recording that became one the most famous songs of the 20th century, died at his home in Redmond, Oregon, after a long battle with an illness. He was 71.

His son, Sean Ely, confirmed the death Tuesday.

“Because of his religious beliefs, we’re not even sure what (the illness) was,” he said.
