UNLUCKY 13 or LUCKY 13???: "Sleep" peaked at No. 13 and spent a total of 16 weeks on Billboard's Top 100 in 1960...
{Was it bad luck to have stopped at #13 or good luck that it spent 16 weeks on the charts???}
Passed away while in prison on May 26th 1968; R.I.P. Mr. John...

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIMES IN THE 1960'
-
One of my all time favorites by LWJ. Here in OKC back in 1959 his recording of LEAVE MY KITTEN ALONE was a top ten hit. Good Post.

James Brown went to visit him a lot and noticed he was in a wheel chair at one point and he said to James, i aint gonna get out of here alive man ,,, the screws kicked him to death while he was ill - my old band used to do a number about him,, GOD REST HIS SWEET SOUL,,,xx
