Ya can't do the 60s without "go-go" rock, like Johnny Rivers . . .

Edgar and the Texas connection reminded me of a child of Odessa, and a walkin' tragedy. Here she is singing a Kris Kristofferson song:

On the same day, in the same accident, another Texan was lost. J. P. Richardson is credited with the first "music video" . . . and here it is . . . (1958?)

Not sure if 1985 qualifies as a "blast from the past," but continuing the Texas Tragedy theme ...

@Ticomaya,
You're cool . . . the criterion is "bygone days of yesteryear," and i'd say 27 years qualifies.

Here's another singer claimed in a flying accident. One of my all time favorite singers. This one goes out to the Old Dominion girl, Miss Letty . . .

IMHO, Jackie had one of the best voices of his (or any) day. Michael Jackson was the Jackie Wilson of his day. If you never saw this before, watch and listen:

@Ragman,
He had an international influence, too. Van Morrison has said that Jackie Wilson was a major influence on him.

If you have never listened to Jackie Wilson sing like this, you may not be aware of the full range of his abilities
