Obituary- Singer Ernie Andrews Cause Of Death

Ernie's family relocated to Los Angeles in his early teenage, where he studied drums at Jefferson High School and continued to sing.

In 1947, when Ernie won an amateur show at the Lincoln Theatre on Central Avenue in Los Angeles, songwriter Joe Greene noticed him.

 In 1969, Andrews made Baltimore his home.
