1999 - Roland Stone (Roland Leblanc), an R&B singer and native of New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 58. In 1959 he was spotted by Mac Rebennack who persuaded him to join his group, The Skyliners. This led to the release of his first record, "Preacher's Daughter" (a re-working of the traditional blues 'Junco Partner'). It was followed up with "Just A Moment", which sold an estimated 100,000 copies in the South. he seemingly disappeared until the '90s when he recorded again and two CD's on Orleans Records met with critical acclaim. |
