A great artist in his day. He wasted it all, and ended up in a transient motel in Victorville, Ca. I used to give him a ride to Barstow some mornings, where he sold his dvds to the truckers.

Jerry Wallace was a true legend in Music, So sad that he passed away in Clifornia at the age of 80 from congestive heart failure. So many Artists have gone on to sing for the lord....
