Talk:Allan Roberts (songwriter)

Death location
Hello. Possible mistake on Hollywood: on January 15, 1966, The New York Times said Allan Roberts died at a local hospital in Hallandale, Florida. Hallandale is only 2 miles from Hollywood, Florida, not Hollywood, California. Regards, Xavier 90.39.250.250 (talk) 11:57, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
