Son’s Death

Doris might have been able to save her son once upon a time, though she could not do anything when the time came. Terry Melcher, the star’s only child, died in the year 2004. He was a record producer and a musician. He actually produced the first two albums of The Byrds and the Paul Revere & the Raiders recording. He had been battling cancer for a while, and he passed away at the age of 62. Melcher is survived by his wife, son, and mother.

A Star Was Born

We bet that her parents had no idea how big of a star the child they welcomed on April 3, 1922 would become. The daughter of Alma Sophia and William Joseph Kappelhoff had the necessary skills and talents to learn music. Perhaps it is also in her genes as her father himself was a music teacher and a choirmaster. She was given the name Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff. For some time, it was believed that she was born in the year 1924, though the Associated Press would find her birth certificate and it clarified matters.
