Big Mama Thornton's bass player Curtis Tillman : "I will tell you exactly what happened! Johnny Ace had been drinking and he had this little pistol he was waving around the table and someone said Be careful with that thing and he said Its okay! Guns not loadedsee? and pointed it at himself with a smile on his face and Bang! sad, sad thing. Big Mama ran outta that dressing room yelling Johnny Ace just killed hisself!"
breathtakingly beautiful! johnny is singing to us from heaven in that unmistakable haunting voice. what a shame we had to lose him so young, he could have been one of the greats, billy stewart too! rest in peace, thanks for the memories,amen.

He's a really good singer and pianist! He's unbelievable! My only comment is that this song is a little slow for me.
