Everybody in the music industry just keeps on dying. Soon there will be nobody left to make music. When will the madness end?

The folks have never stopped playing Stagger Lee.
I was listening to boomer oldies in the cradle. It was a golden age for popular music.

I can’t even begin to imagine the royalties that song “Personality” generated. Countless use in commercials for one.

As Stagger Lee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Bayo, Bayo, see you hang him high
He shot my Billy dead and now he’s got to die.

Following his homicide, the story of Stagger Lee continues, as told by Don ReVels, backed by the Primettes, a group so obscure they were unaccredited on the label. They would get more attention after renaming themselves the Supremes.

Great voice and some iconic historical tunes.

Nothing ever hurt me as much as this. I loved this guy since I was 12 years old. I was aware he was up there, but didn’t expect anything to happen yet.
