Happy b'day to the late Jeff Healey!
The amazing blind singer / guitarist would have turned 43 today. He sadly left us March 2, 2008.
Happy b'day to the late Johnny Burnette!
Johnny would have turned 75 today. Although written by Tiny Bradshaw, Johnny recorded the famous tune Train Kept A-Rollin', also later recorded by Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Motorhead & Alex Chilton. Johnny died in '64 due to injuries sustained from a boating accident.
Happy b'day to the late Rufus Thomas!
The Sun & Stax Records recording artist wrote & performed Walkin' the Dog, which was also later recorded by the Rolling Stones & Aerosmith. He passed away from heart failure in '01.

Happy b'day to the late Steve McQueen!
The king of cool would be turning 79 tomorrow. He passed away from mesothelioma (asbestos based cancer) in '80. Levon Helm has stated that Robbie Robertson had dined w/ McQueen. You either loved or hated McQueen. He could be very philanthropic or a menace. One thing is for certain...love him or hate him...he rocked his film & tv parts. His eyes peered through his eyebrows. We read the Christopher Sandford bio on McQueen...a very good read for McQueen enthusiasts. An actor such as McQueen only comes once in a lifetime.
