🕯️This date in music: February 6, 1960🕯️

Jesse Belvin
27-year-old Jesse Belvin, who scored a 1956 hit with 'Goodnight, My Love', was killed in a car accident in Hope, Arkansas. His wife and the car's driver also died of their injuries. The three were trying to make a fast get-a-way from the first ever mixed race audience concert in the town of Little Rock, after threats had been made against Belvin's life.

He use to say only two people ever made it out of Hope. Both were named Clinton.
He knew some of the bankers in the Whitewater scandal.
