I used to live not too far from 'Dothan' Alabama and attended one his stage performances back in 78 or nine. This was in his troubled time, and he was drunk and could stand straight on stage. It was no too long that he stumbled and fell. He had to be carried off stage. I now understand that at some point there after that he 'cleaned' up his act.Being a great entertainer is hard on life money and all, and many fall beside the way side.He still was one of the great ones.
Thank you for this bit of history on him..I always love learning of artists in music..What motivated certain songs they did etc...
