He also sang the theme song, "As Long as We've Got Each Other," for the 1980s sitcom, Growing Pains, acted in the films, Jory and Jake's Corner, and penned the autobiography, Home Where I Belong.

The singer is survived by his wife, singer-songwriter Gloria Richardson, and their daughters, Paige Thomas, Nora Cloud and Erin Moore.
