Jesse Belvin – 15/12/32 – 06/02/60
Despite co-writing ‘Earth Angel’ one of the biggest hits of the 1950’s, this acclaimed R&B star is one of the least recognized names among his peers. Just hours after performing in front of the first racially integrated audience ever in Little Rock, Arkansas, he and his wife were killed in a head on collision. Belvin had received several death threats prior to the concert and although never proved, speculation is rife that his car had been tampered with prior to the accident.

- this is an intense line up of great musicians! Unfortunately they left us too soon!

- this sux jimi hendrix and kurt cobain died ****ing drugs and guns and women

- Although this is contentious, Richie Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers also disappeared at 27 I think. He can’t be an official member of the 27 club as his body was never found even though its suspected he jumed off the severn bridge
