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.
