Rock & Roll Birthdays on November 5
A few notable rockers were born on November 5th:
1936: The late Ike Turner was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Whatever else we can say about Ike, and we can say plenty, he was a significant figure in the development of rock & roll. I gotta believe Ike came out of the chute kickin’ & screamin’.
1946: The late Gram Parsons came to life as Cecil Ingram Connor. Gram was best known as a member of two fantastic bands, The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
1941: Art Garfunkel came to the planet. Arty has a truly beautiful voice, and always sounded incredible with his childhood chum Paul Simon.
1959: Canadian rocker and photographer Bryan Adams emerged from the womb.
