Starr died last July, according to WeHoville. He had worked at Hollywood Sheet Music for years until the store shut down in 2009.

Says WeHoville; “Starr also was known for Rick’s Picks, the shows he hosted at the Gardenia Supper Club at 7066 Santa Monica Blvd., east of La Brea, which is the longest-running cabaret supper club in the United States.”

According to a fan Facebook page, today is Starr’s birthday.
