Those not so lucky on the 1st January were:
Hiram King "Hank" Williams, Sr.
Legendary Country & Western singer/songwriter who, despite his short life, is regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century.
Williams had 11 number one hits in his career as well as well as many other top ten hits, the early ones with his band The Drifting Cowboys.
Sadly, several years of back pain, alcoholism, and prescription drug abuse severely damaged Williams' health and he died in the early morning hours of January 1, 1953, at the age of 29, from heart failure exacerbated by pills and alcohol.
Alexis Andrew Nicholas Koerner
British blues musician and radio broadcaster, who has been referred to as "a founding father of British blues". A major influence on the sound of the British music scene in the 1960s, Korner was instrumental in bringing together various English blues musicians.
Alexis Korner's Blues Incorpoated - Korner on guitar & vocals, Dick Heckstall-Smith on sax, Cyril Davies on vocals and harmonica, Jack Bruce on bass and Charlie Watts & Ginger Baker on drums - were the first Blues band I ever saw, appearing regularly at Bluesville at the Manor ballroom Ipswich on Monday nights.
Korner, a chain smoker, died of lung cancer aged 55 years, on 1 January 1984.
