Fifty years ago, Wes Montgomery at home felt tired and needed a nap. His wife joined him. She woke up to find her husband
dead of a heart attack. At 48.

Some late birthdays for today, two significant figures, only saw this looking at the country music birthdays http://www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/index.php :

But those other websites missing Bob Wills, born in 1905, that's pretty weak:

"Stay A Little Longer", my favorite.
! No longer available
"San Antonio Rose", signature song.
! No longer available
"Take me back to Tulsa", a song well done by Asleep at the Wheel:
! No longer available
One can read Bob Wills' wikipedia biography, he lived in Roy, New Mexico for awhile, I mean, he was a barber there, pretty amazing.

Red Simpson, Bakersfield sound, I believe he passed away only in the past few years, 2016, big exponent of "Trucker" music:
"Roll Truck Roll":
! No longer available
"Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves":
! No longer available
And plenty of others one can look for.

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today

Yvonne Chouteau, Native American and ballerina, this really is worth checking out, she seems to have been a pioneer, culture.

Townes Van Zandt, how does his wikipedia bio tell it, he is related to some of the founders of Texas. Considered a giant by many.
"Heartworn Highways"

"Tecumseh Valley" with Nancy Griffin"

Of course, I'd think his most famous song was "Pancho and Lefty" but not necessarily his best.

Arthur Lee of Love, a landmark band, "Alone again or":

Ernie Isley, Isley Brothers, "Who's that lady", that's the song I've heard:

Latin bombshell, Iris Chacon, others in bands recently covered include members of the J. Geils Band, Zombies and Procol Haram.

Peter Wolf, J. Geils Band, "Detroit Breakdown",

Donna Loren, singer and actress of "Beach Blanket Bingo", I've seen some movie with a title like that.
! No longer available

Yesterday, I added on Bob Wills and Red Simpson for February 6th, amazingly, the websites usually used did not even include either of these two. Bob Wills though, is a landmark figure. So, perhaps, we will see some more country stars added later on from the country and western website: http://www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/index.php

In fact, belated wishes to Jean Chapel for March 6, "Don't let go", I see her listed. I'm not real familiar with her, seems a bit like Mae West:

Some late birthday entries, one belated birthday entry,

Ralph Emery, mainly a country dj and host of a country music show on the Nashville Network, he was married to Skeeter Davis, he also use to plug "Goody's Headache Powders"...

Just a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Emery

Also, the 11th, Lily May Ledford was born on this day in history, she was part of the Coon Creek girls... out of Kentucky or around there and in fact, Cincinnati, Ohio, they are suppose to be like one of the first all girl bands to make it big... I think they played for a President as well. A reincarnation has recently played but not really from the classic lineup of many moons ago.

"Sowing on the Mountain":
! No longer available
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coon_Creek_Girls

The New Coon Creek girls:
! No longer available

Lily May must have been the main one.

A few birthdays today;

Leonard Chess, founder of Chess records.

She was in a Law and Order CI, seems like a nice woman.

! No longer available
A lot of compilations come up for this artist; not to forget that even before "Fire and Rain", he made some album for Apple, the Beatles' record company.
