Singer/ Actor Michael Parks- to me is best known for his role as Jean Renault on the Twin Peaks television show. This was his only entry into the Billboard Hot 100. Parks died in 2017 at the age of 77.

He’s also been in at least 6 Tarantino movies! Good song. May he rest in peace.
I always associated him with Twin Peaks- although he was a very familiar face.
Like the song, but I wonder, with all our technology these days, why Parks’ cause of death is still listed as unknown.
I’m old enough to remember Michael Parks from the cool TV show, “Then Came Bronson,” in which he tried to do an imitation of the Marlon Brando/James Dean rebel.
I have heard of the show but don’t think I ever saw it.
