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!

Thank you yet again.
