DeCarlo and his band Steam are best
known for their 1969 hit song, “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss him Goodbye,” which went on
to become one of the most well known songs of the time.
A close friend of DeCarlo, Pat Horgan, told TMZ that he passed away in hospice care in Connecticut with his wife by his side. DeCarlo had been battling with lung cancer, which eventually spread, affecting the rest of his body.
His hit song was famously chanted in Congress recently after the House moved to pass the Obamacare repeal.
