Guess who I am.

12. Guess who I am.

I was a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist.
I was born in 1946 in Winter Haven, Florida.
My father, Ingram Cecil Connor II, aka " Coon Dog," was a WW2 flying ace.
My mother, Avis Snively Connor, was the daughter of citrus fruit magnate John A. Snively.
While still in high school, I was in a band called The Shilohs, and one of my bandmates knew John Phillips.
In 1964, John Phillips tried to get Albert Grossman to book us at The Bitter End.
However, when Grossman found out we were still in high school, he balked at booking us.
In 1966, I formed The International Submarine Band, and we appeared in Peter Fonda's 1967 film, "The Trip."
In 1968, I became part of a well-known rock band that had lost a couple of members.
While performing in England, I left the band over a planned tour of South Africa because I was opposed to apartheid.
While I was in England, I became friends with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and after leaving the band, I lived at Keith's house for a while and reintroduced him to country music.
After returning to Los Angeles, I teamed up with Chris Hillman to form a new band.
We played a short set at the Altamont Music Festival, including "Bony Moronie" and "Six Days on the Road."
By this time, I was doing a lot of drugs and wasn't writing much music.
In 1973, pursued a solo career and, after meeting Emmy Lou Harris, I asked her to join me on my debut album.
It was called "GP" and included several members of Elvis Presley's TCB Band.
Later that year, I went to the desert in southeastern California with some friends, and overdosed on alcohol & barbiturates.
I was 26 when I died.

Guess who I was.
