There would be no Playtone without Adam Schlesinger, without his That Thing You Do! He was a One-der. Lost him to Covid-19. Terribly sad today. Hanx

I loved Fountains OF Wayne. Sang on one of their albums and opened up for them once in LA. As a fan of smart, melodic music Adam and Chris we're always so great.
Taken much too soon RS
Adam Schlesinger wrote THE best original song for a film. RIP https://t.co/beyemaBBrd

Too upset to do much right now other than share this. Adam, Chris & I and I became friends in Radio Bar, early 90's. I love that first FOW album. Making The Negatives I asked if he could produce. No time, but we did a little. This. RIP Adam Schlesinger. https://t.co/6R1UNsMvwj

Ugh. Heartbreaking to hear about Adam Schlesinger having passed. Such a brilliant songwriter.

RIP: Adam Schlesinger, probably the greatest pop songwriter of his generation. Created at least three seminal records with Fountains of Wayne. Welcome Interstate Managers is the masterpiece.

I am grasping for the right words. My dear friend Adam Schlesinger has passed away from COVID-19. You know him best through his music. From his band @fountainsofwayn to the countless movies and tv shows he scored, most recently My Crazy Ex Girlfriend (cont’d) pic.twitter.com/to8H4IoLtj

What can I do?
But sing this valley winter song

So sad to lose Adam Schlesinger. I knew him for over 20 years. Worked on some songs together, toured the US supporting Fountains, and always found him to be an explemplary craftsman, artist and mensch. Love you buddy.

RIP Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), fine singer, witty and satiric songwriter. How terrible to lose him at 52 to this virus.

this is devastating. an incredible musical mind and a very sweet guy. i remember watching the fountains of wayne years ago and thinking something that i've only thought a few times, that we the audience were the congregation at a church of pop. thank you for all the joy adam. https://t.co/AcONk7tSVF

I am so saddened by the news of the passing of songwriter Adam Schlesinger from COVID 19. Adam wrote the song THAT THING YOU DO. He had extraordinary musical talent. His loss is deeply felt.
— Rita Wilson (@RitaWilson) April 2, 2020
Adam Schlesinger was one talented man and the world will be a less tuneful place without him. I wrote a few songs with him when I was living in New York and he had a brilliant gift for melody. Love and healing to his family #AdamSchlesinger pic.twitter.com/EPBaIj6J4r

From his work with @fountainsofwayn to his award-winning credits in TV, movies, and stage, millions of fans caught that radiation vibe Adam Schlesinger was groovin' on. A sad, sad loss for Jersey's music scene.
