My deepest condolences to the Wolfgramm and Hunt families. I have been a mega Jets fans since I was 10 and I've met them many times over the decades. His passing is like hearing of the passing of a longtime friend. You are all in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace, Eugene 😢
RIP GENE - SENDING LOVE TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS 😢😢
R.I.P EUGENE
rip eugene..rest in power
My heart is still heavy because this was my group Rest well you are now resting in his arms ❤❤❤.
I enjoyed the podcast very much. I’m gonna give you props Eugene for your lead vocals on the Jets’ debut album, “Love Umbrella”, “Heart On The Line”, “Right Before My Eyes” and “Mesmerized.” Love all those songs. Glad to see and hear that you got married to a beautiful wife, who I can tell, keeps you in check and are a father to four wonderful kids. In closing, you and your family gave us some of the best pop music in the 80s. Thanks for your work not only with The Jets but Boys Club as well. Take care and God bless to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about Eugene, met him years ago. Cool person. Will be missed so much.😢😢😢😢😢
This is really fun to watch - the stories are entertaining (and so is the “host’s” exasperation). 😂 The Elizabeth interview was excellent. Such a powerhouse, truly one of the best voices of the past four decades of pop. Would love to hear one of the OTHER best next: Moana (of course)!

I went to HS with you!! I was an extra in your video “Curiosity “. We were friends actual and buds!
1 of my top FAVORITE groups in the 80's that were MOST influential in my wanting to be a singer & in me being thee vast library & connoisseur of music that I am today. Anywho, I tell ya, there's nothing any1 would've been able to say to me to convince me that this kind fellow in this video is Eugene Wolfgramm of The Jets!

Very Good first introduction, and interview. Keep the hits coming.
Love the jets love all your songs
Great interview! Was such a big Jets fan in my teens. Such fun memories of going to your concerts. I remember you folks were staying at the Ilikai Hotel in Hawaii (I don't remember how we found out where you folks was staying) you folks we're so kind to me and my friends. You and Haini was eating mint chocolate chip ice cream cones and I ate it for the first time at the store there and I love it to this day. I dont know why I remembered that but I tell my kids thats why I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. Of corse my adult kids think their momma was weird. Too funny!
loved you as a singer

@@genehunt7778 Just don't give up. My hubby and I started our KZread show a little over a year ago and it has been slow to gain our our current 107 subscribers. However, it takes time, patience, and consistency to find your groove and to build your following. Most importantly, just value the subscribers you have, because they are tuning in for a reason. The rest will come in time as long as you hang in there! Wishing you much success and a great 2023! Happy New Year! 😎😍😇
