Alan Thicke died on Tuesday (Dec. 13) at the age of 69, reportedly from a heart attack.

While Thicke was best known as a sitcom actor, he was also a successful theme song composer. And in some cases, such as the Diff'rent Strokes theme song "It Takes Diff'rent Strokes," Thicke was even a featured singer.
