Tribute Mondays: Jesse Belvin

Jesse Lorenzo Belvin (December 15, 1932 – February 6, 1960) 


  The man whose sound Sam Cooke modeled and Writer of the Classic "Earth angel", Jesse Belvin was killed in a car crash along with his wife (she was also his manager) under questionable circumstances at age 27. Though his talents were never fully shown, at the time of his death he had already done 10 years in the music industry. Thanks for your contribution you are appreciated: please take a listen here and have a nice Monday: Guess who , Dream Girl (Jesse and Marvin) , You cheated (The Shields) , Blues in the night , What is love and Goodnight my love
