Tragically, Willis suddenly passed away from a bleeding ulcer. He was only 30 and did not live to see his biggest hit crack the Top 10 a month after his death. "What Am I Living For" soared to #9, with its B-side, "Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes," going to #24. Willis had one final single chart later in 1958 when "My Life" peaked at #46.
Despite his truncated career, Willis left behind a bounty of terrific songs to lift your mood or console those who were unlucky in love. "Wrong Lake To Catch A Fish" is a popular favorite in his catalogue.
