What follows is the story of a brilliant young rock & roll talent, his meteoric rise in the 1960s, and the strange, disputed circumstances surrounding his death.From homemade echo chambers and chart success to shadowy industry figures, mob rumors, and unanswered questions, this episode traces both the life and the mystery left behind.Was it an accident?Suicide?Or something far darker?This is Jonny’s Dead Air Podcast—where music history meets the silence between the notes.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Written by Jonny HartwellVoiced by Jonny HartwellMusic Credit: Reel World Audio.A iHeart Radio ProductionDISCLAIMER: This podcast contains discussions of sensitive topics...Listener discretion is strongly advised.
