All Music Is Welcomed! Per birthdays,

In 1915, on this day, "Ol' Blue Eyes", Frank Sinatra, was born in Hoboken New Jersey.
'Luck Be A Lady' and many other songs could be posted, we had some show every Saturday afternoon, it might still run, that would spotlight his many recordings.


Connie Francis, born on this day in 1938, in Newark New Jersey:
"C'est Lui Je Veux (Some Other Boy)", a nice rocking number in French.

Here she sings with Marvin Rainwater, "The Majesty of Love".

I'm a fan of Marvin Rainwater, checking out Connie's discography, this appears to have been recorded right before she made it big. Her first big hit seems to be "Who's Sorry Now".

And on this day,  in East Orange New Jersey, in 1940, Dionne Warwick was born.
'Say A Little Prayer For Me"


So, the state of the day must be Rhode Island or maybe Alabama.

Other birthdays to be added later.

To all members, I found where I can manually edit out the "red exclamation" point and that "no longer available." It's kind of pesky and aesthetically unattractive.

I believe, Dick Wagner was in the band for Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies":

Wagner may have played on a session or two from that album, but the album was the next-to-last
by the original Alice Cooper band. (They'd make one more album as a band, Muscle of Love,
then go on a so-called indefinite hiatus during which it transpired that the real reason for the rift
was the band's objection to the increasing stage theatrics and Cooper's desire to get even more
theatrical than the band already was being.) Wagner was about to become part of Lou Reed's "Rock
and Roll Animal" band (with Steve Hunter as his guitar tandem) that Alice Cooper lifted for his first
solo albums beginning with Welcome to My Nightmare, in addition to co-writing much of the
material with Cooper.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Jesse Belvin co-wrote Earth Angel:

Quote
His composition "Earth Angel", eventually co-credited to Belvin and Hollywood Flames singers Curtis Williams and Gaynel Hodge after a legal dispute, was recorded by the Penguins, and became one of the first R&B singles to cross over onto the pop charts, selling a million copies in 1954/55.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Belvin

Jesse Belvin, I'm not sure of how I missed that. A talent, another tragedy... there are a few stories on how he passed away, short of it, he was in a car wreck after a show.

Quote
However, before the album was issued, and shortly after finishing a performance in Little Rock on a bill with Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, and Marv Johnson, Belvin and his wife were killed in a head-on collision at Hope, Arkansas.[7] The concert was the first concert played before an integrated audience in the history of Little Rock, and was stopped twice by interruptions from whites in the audience, shouting racial epithets and urging the white teenagers in attendance to leave at once. There had also been several death threats on Belvin prior to the concert, which led to speculation that his car had been tampered with prior to the accident. The actual cause of the accident was the driver who nodded off and lost control. The driver had been recently fired for falling asleep at the wheel by another musical act.[8] Belvin was buried in Los Angeles.[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Belvin

A car accident but one wonders, if not for the earlier turbulence at the concert, if things might have gone more smoothly afterwards.

Rolling Stone magazine: (this article seems to make it sound like Belvin was driving the car but I read in Sam Cooke's bio that they had a driver as the wikipedia article above says):
Quote
The late Jackie Wilson played a 1960 package show with several top singers in Little Rock, Arkansas, and when he realized they were scheduled to play two shows, first for blacks then for whites, he pulled out of the second one. White residents brandished guns and chased Wilson's entourage out of town. One of the performers, Jesse Belvin, who had a big radio hit with "Goodnight My Love" and co-wrote "Earth Angel," accelerated his '59 Cadillac so suddenly that his tires blew, the car swerved, and he and his wife died in the wreck.

It's Rolling Stone, with their rubbish political views, so not an endorsement, one can take it however. Maybe they can have some sincere reporting on music.

It's not her birthday but a fine singer from the 1950s was Bunny Paul, born in Detroit, May 21st actually.

She was pre-Motown but an early producer of her music was Barry Gordy, Motown founder a few years later and Martha Reeves sang on some of Bunny's records apparently.



This one is really good, the others I've heard did not leave that same impression with me.

http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messages/bunny_paul.htm

I believe her career was cut short somewhat by having problems with her vocals.



The birthday websites might miss her birthday, at least one of them does.

Count Basie & His Orchestra, "One O'Clock Jump"

(You guessed it---this is the number Santana eventually chose for their first single.)

Aretha Franklin, "Only the Lonely"
! No longer available
(Columbia turned out to be so unable to decide how to work to Franklin's strengths that, when
they dropped her and Atlantic's Jerry Wexler swooped in to sign her, he told a Columbia A&R man who
asked what Atlantic would do that they couldn't, "We're gonna put her back in church," meaning they
would let her let her gospel influences come to the fore. The rest was history . . . )
       

Bob Dylan, "Like a Rolling Stone"
! No longer available

Robert Johnson, "Love in Vain Blues"
! No longer available
Well, Hammond wanted Johnson for the famous "Spirituals to Swing" concert at
Carnegie Hall only to discover Johnson dead, replacing him with Big Bill Broonzy, but Hammond
oversaw the first album-length release of Johnson's music, King of the Delta Blues Singers
in 1963.

Bruce Springsteen, "New York City Serenade"
