Johnny Burnette was a great singer/song writer taken too soon. My fave is "Dreamin". In August 1964 he drowned in a lake in CA. Left behind a wife & son Rocky who made it good in the 70s. So says the Bio.

Player #14956187, I heard that Waylon ilor Kris Kristofferson, can't remember which, gave their seat up to Ritchie, who was the least senior act on the tour and destined to ride the bus. He was trying to reach a family celebration of some kind. So sad. 😔😢😥
