The singer died from complications associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Johnny Tillotson, the Grammy-nominated singer behind the global 1961 hit song Poetry In Motion, has died aged 86.

Tillotson died from complications associated with Parkinson’s disease.

The singer’s wife, Nancy, said her beloved husband was surrounded by family and friends when he passed at home in Los Angeles.

“It is with a broken heart that I write to let you know that the sweetest, kindest man I ever met, Johnny Tillotson, left earth for heaven yesterday,” she said in heartfelt tribute on Facebook on Tuesday, US local time.

“He was my best beloved, champion of my realm, knight of my heart.

“Someone said that sometimes right in the middle of an ordinary life you get a fairy tale. The day I met him I got mine.

“He was funny, generous and kind. A gentleman through and through.

“He loved and was grateful to his fans — as he once said, ‘They made every dream I ever had come true.’

“Once again, on his behalf, I say thank you for that.”

Tillotson rose to fame as a teen idol in the 1960s.

He captured the hearts of music lovers with his song Poetry In Motion which topped the charts across the world in 1961.

The song reached number one in the UK, number five in Australia and number two in the US Billboard charts.

Nancy also paid tribute to her husband’s musical talents.

“His songwriting prowess was evident in the timeless It Keeps Right On a Hurtin, a track that resonated so deeply it was recorded by over 112 artists including legends like Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Conway Twitty and Bobby Darin,” she wrote.

“Johnny’s musical journey saw him record numerous albums, selling tens of millions of records worldwide.

“He was a two-time Grammy nominee, a testament to his undeniable talent.”

Tillotson was born on April 20, 1938 in Jacksonville, Florida.

He passed just weeks before his 87th birthday.

Tillotson was inducted into America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame in 2014.

He also had other accolades including being an inductee into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

“He is survived by his wife Nancy of 45 years, his son John and his wife, his stepdaughter Genevieve and his grandchildren, Nia, Jackson, Georgia and Gwyneth, his brother Dan and sister-in-law Virginia and various nieces and nephews,” Nancy wrote.

“Johnny will be missed every single day for the rest of my life. He was simply the best.

“With all the love I have in my heart for a wonderful man gone too soon from this world.”
