Still the records were a gas! Ouch!!! Knew about Curtis, but.....!!!! My most haunting song was James Ray - "If You Got To Make A Fool Of Somebody". That song danced in my head for the longest time, not sure why, didn't know the title or artist. Sad to later read he was found dead, drug OD. Was discovered sleeping on rooftops! Then, "Sleep", a great favorite, by Little Willie John - dead in prison! Best, |
