. . . in the rock vocalist category. Which differs, in my humble opinion, from rock singer (Bowie and Stewart) or front man (MJ in a category all by himself). Burdon's voice was unmistakable. Hilton's Sky Pilot to Heaven Art

Sam Kinison came to Youngstown and my buddy and I had front row seats. We brought a bottle of Jack and other "party favors" ;-) Our night ended the next morning and it took a couple of days to recover. A little know fact: Sam was married to Aunt Peg, yes,...
