Obituary: Singer-songwriter Tony Joe White, 75, best remembered for his "swamp rock" hit "Polk Salad Annie," died yesterday. He had a big hit with it in 1969, and it was covered by other artists, most notably Elvis Presley, who frankly did it better than White ever did.
The cause of death was a heart attack.

Reilly was 92.

They were apparently hikers.
