Our thoughts Go Out To George Jones's Family
May He Rest In Peace


George Jones
September 12th 1931 ~ April 26th 2013

Award winning American country music singer, who topped the charts 14 times between the 1950s and 1990s, has sadly died aged 81. While in the middle of a US tour he was admitted to
Vanderbilt University Hospital with fever and irregular blood pressure; after being on oxygen for several days, he died of acute hypoxia. He leaves behind his fourth wife Nancy, his daughter Susan, from his first marriage to Dorothy Bonvillion, two sons Jeffrey and Bryan from his marriage to Shirley Ann Corley; and his daughter Tamala Georgette, from his marriage to Tammy Wynette
.
George Jones
George Glenn Jones aka Possum, was born in Saratoga, near Beaumont and raised in Vidor, Texas. He was given a guitar when he was nine, and was soon busking for money on the streets of Beaumont.
He left home at 16 and went to Jasper, Texas, where he sang and played on the radio station and where he first met his hero Hank Williams in 1949. George served in the Marines from 1950 to 1953, stationed in California for his entire servic, after which he recorded his debut single, "No Money in This Deal" released in 1954. He first entered the national Billboard country charts in 1955 with "Why Baby Why", which peaked at No.44 on the country charts that same year. He had his first of 14 No.1 hits in 1959 with "White Lightning". Through the 60s he had multiple singles on the country charts each year – ballads like "The Window Up Above", "If My Heart Had Windows", "The Race Is On", with its rumbling, six-string bass solo; duets with Melba Montgomery and Gene Pitney. He also topped the charts with "Tender Years", "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Walk Through This World With Me". In 1969, George married Tammy Wynette, one of the most famous country music marriages ever. They recorded a series of duet singles, including chart-toppers "Golden Ring", "Near You" and "We're Gonna Hold On" – that outlined a fictive version of the couple's often-volatile relationship. The duets continued for several years after they divorced in 1975, and the two reunited professionally for a final album together, One, in 1995. Sadly George had gone down the road of drugs and drink, not helped by his early manager giving him cocaine, when he got over tired. However his greatest achievements came with Billy Sherrill, his regular producer for much of the 1970s and '80s, reaching a peak with the 1980 release of "He Stopped Loving Her Today" from the album "I Am What I Am". "He Stopped Loving Her Today" perhaps saved his life. The song, widely considered to be the greatest country record ever made and one that, according to many involved with its creation, took more than a year to get on tape because he was so wrecked by cocaine and bourbon. It gave him his first No.1 hit in five years and won four awards from the Country Music Association, including Song of the Year. It also gave him the first of his two Grammys, he won again in 2000 for the post-wreck "Choices". It was followed by 4 more No.1 hits "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" with Barbara Mandrell in 1981, "Still Doin' Time" also in '81, "Yesterday's Wine" with Merle Haggard in 1982 and "I Always Get Lucky with You" in 1983. He had received many honors during his long career, from Most Promising New Country Vocalist in 1956, followed by 10 more awards prior to 1980, 11 in the 80s, 8 in the 90s and 7 in the 2000s. Over 55 years his name has appeared on more charting singles – 168 – than any other country singer's, from 1955's "Why Baby Why" to Aaron Lewis' 2010 hit "Country Boy", where he was a featured vocalist with Charlie Daniels. Also, 141 singles charted in the country top 40. George had been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1956 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992, and named a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2008. In 2012 he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award, where his longtime friend Merle Haggard paid tribute to him.

Our Thoughts Go Out To Richie Haven's Family
May He Rest In Peace


Richie Havens
January 21st 1941 ~ April 22nd 2013
Woodstock icon and folk legend Richie Havens, sadly, has died after suffering a heart attack at home in Jersey City, New Jersey, at the age of 72. He leaves behind three children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Richie Havens
Noted for his distinctive soulful vocals, American folk singer, guitarist and songwriter Richie Havens, born Richard Pierce Havens in Brooklyn, was the eldest of nine children. At an early age, he began organizing his neighborhood friends into street corner doo-wop groups and was performing with the McCrea Gospel Singers by the age of 16. At aged 20, he left Brooklyn, seeking artistic stimulation in Greenwich Village. After recording two records for Douglas Records, he signed on with Bob Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, and signed with Verve Forecast label, where he released "Mixed Bag" in 1967, which featured tracks such as "Handsome Johnny", co-written by himself and future Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr; "Follow", and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman". By 1969, he had released 5 more albums, Something Else Again in 1968 became his first Billboard charting album and also pulled "Mixed Bag" back onto the charts. His Woodstock appearance in 1969 catapulted him into stardom and proved to be a major turning point in his career. As the festival's first performer, he held the crowd for three hours, being called back time and again for encores. His repertoire exhausted, he improvised a song based on the spiritual Motherless Child. This became "Freedom", his best known song and an anthem for a generation, which was also included on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's 2012 slavery-era film Django Unchained. After Woodstock, he started his own record label, Stormy Forest, and released Stonehenge in 1970 followed by Alarm Clock that same year. Stormy Forest went on to release four more of his albums: The Great Blind Degree-1971, Live On Stage-1972, Portfolio -1973 and Mixed Bag II-1974. Memorable television appearances included performances on The Ed Sullivan Show and Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show, on which the audience reacted with such enthusiasm that when the applause continued even after the commercial break, Carson asked Richie to return the following night. During the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, he continued a world touring schedule and a steady release of albums. In 1990 he played the role as a character named Daze in the film "Street Hunter" starring John Leguizamo, and in 1993, Richie performed at the inauguration of President Bill Clinton. He was invited to perform at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony. He played "Freedom" at the request of the jury president, Sean Penn. He also performed at the London, Ontario, Blues Festival in July 2008. On May 3rd 2009, Richie performed at the fundraising concert in honor of Pete Seeger's 90th birthday, and June 2009, he performed at the fifth annual Mountain Jam Festival. On July 4th 2009, he performed at the Woodstock Tribute festival in Ramsey, New Jersey. On August 8th 2010, he performed at Musikfest 2010 at Foy Hall at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. On March 20th 2012, sadly Richie announced that he would retire touring after 45 years due to health concerns.
