Madonna announces 2012 concert tour
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 17 (UPI) -- Musician and Ventures co-founder Bob Bogle has died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Vancouver, Wash., his longtime friend and collaborator said. Bogle was 75.
Bogle, who played guitar on the band's instrumental hits "Walk -- Don't Run," "Perfidia," "Diamond Head" and "Hawaii Five-O," died Sunday, said Don Wilson, who co-founded the Ventures with Bogle in the 1950s.
"He had a special sound that nobody could ever re-create. He was totally unique as a guitar player," Wilson said of his fellow former construction worker in an interview with CNNRadio.
"We had a lot of time on our hands after work, so we'd get together and play," Wilson said. "A year and a half later, we had a No. 2 hit called 'Walk -- Don't Run.'"
Thirty-eight of the Ventures' albums made it onto Billboard's Top 200 chart, including collections of country, dance and holiday covers. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.
Bogle is survived by his wife, Yumi, CNN said.
