The album was designed as a farewell performance after the singer and former teen idol was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. 

Born Robert Velline in Fargo, N.D., he recorded 38 songs that made the top 100 and acted in four movies. 

His son Tommy told the Saint Cloud Times, "Among the sadness, there is relief." I'm relieved that the struggle is over for him, and I'm sad as hell that he's gone."
