Every generation has their music idols. These three were among the top of the 1950’s generation. Those who grew up in the fifties mourned the premature deaths of their music idols. Memorials and remembrances occurred for years. Today, there are many websites memorializing their deaths, and detailing the events before and after the tragedy.

They just did a Winter Dance Party up here in Duluth, or are in the process of one, as this was one of the last places they played… I grew up in the late 60’s/70’s and seemed like that music never went away, and was recovered several times, and like Elvis the legacy never dies…….
Seems like you didn’t live to long if you were a musician, actress, 🙁 or politician in the later 50’s/60’s/70’s….On another happier note, happy upcoming birthday Jim…:) (did I get the right Jim)!
