Michael Stanley, whose music has been the soundtrack for decades for so many in the Mahoning Valley, died Friday at age 72.
As a solo artist and as leader of the Michael Stanley Band, the Ghost Poets, Michael Stanley & the Resonators and the Midlife Chryslers, the man born Michael Stanley Gee was a Cleveland hometown hero, where he had successful careers as a DJ (30 years at WNCX-FM) and television host (“PM Magazine”) in addition to his work as a recording artist and performer.

Three band members are Youngstown natives bass players Daniel Pecchio (1974-79) and Michael Gismondi (1979-87) and guitar player Gary Markasky (1978-83). Road manager Jimmy Soffos is a Warren native and Dan Montecalvo, who still lives in Warren, was sound man for Stanley’s musical projects from 1976 until the Resonators’ last gig before the COVID-19 pandemic.
