Lance Diamond

Lance Diamond (born William Shingles[1]; July 3,[2] 1945[3] – January 4, 2015) was an American lounge singer and radio personality based in Buffalo, New York, whose career spanned over 40 years.

He often called himself the "Love Doctor," getting the name from his radio show, Saturday Night Fever which he hosted Saturday evenings on 96.1 WJYE (now WTSS) featuring love music.

[4] Diamond died on January 4, 2015, a few days after being hospitalized due to heart complications that prevented him from performing his annual New Year's Eve show.

[5] He was 69[3] and believed to have no spouse or children (his sister announced his death), although his secretive nature meant that very little of his personal life was known to the public.

Polowy was able to secure three interviews from the notoriously secretive Diamond before his death, which were incorporated into the film.
