The late Chuck Willis, another favourite, was responsible for inspiring Jay to wear a turban on stage and Jay was present at the drinking session the night Willis died. He is of the opinion, that five whiskies was instrumental in causing Chuck's death rather than a totally accidental car crash … When Jay was on Apollo, label-mate Solomon Burke used to be billed as "The fourteen year old Wonder Boy" … Jay once gave the Drifters (his pall-bearers) explicit instructions on how his coffin lid was to be fastened so that he could leap out with his spell routine but the Drifters locked him in on purpose..... A similar tale of a more unfortunate nature occurred when Larry Williams was responsible for interring Jay in his coffin together with a monkey. Excited monkeys are prone to bowel-failure; enough said!
