[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Right on time!!!!!! Idk who Johnny Ace is but I always am willing to learn. He was born on the same day as Jackie Wilson! Well 5 years older

[@Melanie-xw9xg]

Exactly me too 🤔🧐

[@cjkita9802]

[@MrTRIGGD]

Jack Wilson was a wild cat on another ave. Homie tote Smith Wesson and like to play Russian Roulette.

[@Mystique2u]

OMG, my mom & dad fell in love to Johnny Ace's music! I can still see them slow dancing to his music. Thanks for a GREAT memory!!!

[@FlymoufDiction]

Damn he smacked Little Richard in the face with a piece of hot fish. 😂. He was the first Suge Knight. Big Don Roper

[@dariuswilliams6683]

Exactly what I was thinking 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@Nick-zr7xu]

I bet the devil slapping him with something hot now😮

[@Nick-zr7xu]

Big Don I mean

[@brucescott4261]

😮@FlymoufDiction ...False! Sure Knight wasn't born then. Don Robey*

[@butterfly_princess1376]

[@davidhinkson8856]

I recall Paul Simon singing a song about Johnny Ace at Simon and Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park in 1981, but I had no idea who he was. I'm glad for this video.

[@newme1813]

Waco,Tx! My city! 12/25/1994-This was the day that my daughter was born❤. Wow! RIP,SIR!😢

The pioneer of soul music. A deeply underrated figure. Broke down color barriers. Thanks for this

[@levipatterson6259]

Currently, I’m 82 years old. I learned to sing two of his songs while I was in junior high school. I never was a good singer. That didn’t really matter. I met a couple of ladies that seemed to be impressed by the lyrics of the song.

[@mahoganylove5757]

[@CelebrityUnderrated]

[@shereewhite4828]

You tell the most interesting celebrity bio's. I've never heard of Johnnie Ace until now. I agree that Johnnie needs to have a movie done about him. Keep up the good work, I love your channel.❤ Can you do a bio on Big Mamma Thornton?

[@KariTheBarb]

[@simonandsimon2596]

I’m in here too from Houston, Acres homes.

[@davidneumann5175]

It's amazing how many greats 24:42 had stage fright. That's why Roy Orbison wore black sungalsses, so he could'nt see the crowd. Levon Helm is another. Great video here 👍🏻👍🏻

[@specialk5579]

A great video on a fabulous talent gone way too soon. I have the memorial album which is a great one for sure any music lover should have in their collection.

[@ericadean1555]

Never heard of Jonny Ace thanks so much for this video.

[@ahmad.tillery.1987]

I don't see how some christians called R&b music "devil's music". Back then they sang about love how is that devilish? Now the drill music today that's devil's music.

[@saj8]

Not even close.

[@deesavage3777]

They considered anything that wasn't gospel the devils music back then. Even jazz lol.

[@saj8]

@@deesavage3777 I've always said that the two musical genres that were resistant to change were Gospel and Jazz.

[@TriniLush7]

Blame white people. Those are the same people who demonized Carbon [Black] - 6 neutrons, 6 protons, 6 electrons 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@brucescott4261]

​@@deesavage3777 ...Correct!!!

[@antoniolugo4727]

Bless my guy

My aunts missed the concert in Houston because my mother went into labor with me. I was born on the 26th. I heard about them missing this concert every birthday until they passed.

[@GoldFinger34]

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunate and untimely death. I did chuckle however about you hearing about your aunts missing that concert due to your birth. A great story teller you are.

[@everythingbyjohn]

Let’s go my guy pumping out content

[@beaniegee5129]

I hope you do more stories on Lisa Robin Kelly, Della Reese, Lee Reherman, Taylor Negron, Byron Fox, Rosalind Cash, Mitch Mullany, Clarence Williams III, Reynaldo Rey, Dana Plato, Apache, Keith Amos, Ali Humiston, Yaki Kadafi, Andre Harrell, Harold Melvin, Ms. Melodie, D-Boy Rodriguez, Ron Lester, Boss, Hurricane G, Tame One, Natalie Deselle Reid, Jason David Frank, and Tricia Joe from The Babysitter's Club

[@sharrelldupree28]

You really put thought into this, Great suggestions

[@rondas7772]

I think he did della Reese

[@latoyaguest793]

I knew the Sax Kari you are talking about, 😮 he was a friend of my uncle and he was a Blue's artist in his own right. Wow 🎉

[@jenisemcintyre3839]

I thought I had never heard of Johnny Ace. I googled Pledging My Love and realized that I had been hearing Johnny Ace all along. Johnny Ace rightfully belongs in the Rhythm and Blues and the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. R.I.P. Johnny Ace.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

I like that movie Christine

[@MonicaMariaMcLean]

I gotta watch the movie because never seen it.

[@peeweetv6095]

​@@MonicaMariaMcLean good classic movies

[@teela79]

You mentioned Johnny Ace & Gatemouth Brown being on Peacock Records. Gatemouth Brown is my cousin. My Granny talked about him not long ago. I never knew of Johnny Ace, but after today, I know! You're such a great storyteller! This is one of the reasons I love your channel!

[@anthonyyoung1097]

You always been a great story teller

[@CelebrityUnderrated]

I appreciate that

[@anthonyyoung1097]

[@MichaelGallien-xw4ju]

I want my daddies records.

[@HoneyHoneyBaby]

​@@MichaelGallien-xw4juOmg 😭 lol

[@Greggsoldies]

Johnny Ace was a phenomenal artist who left us way too soon. Johnny Fuller did a song after Johnny's passing called Johnny Ace's last letter, and Veretta Dillard did a song called Johnny has gone.. I'm 65, and I have a great doo-wop R&B collection of vinyl...

[@californiagirl1579]

I love your channel and content ❤ this my first time hearing about him rest in peace too johnny ace🙏🏽♥️👑🕊

[@guessundheit6494]

Johnny Ace may not be the biggest name ever, but he had a huge influence on artists of the 1960s and 1970s. He made his mark on popular music, and his collected works as a "Greatest Hits" album stand up against anyone's.

[@turiyahall7526]

Wow what a crazy story

[@sonyamills4313]

Try to do the little willie john story of celebrity underrated episode because little willie john is completely underrated

[@tinkerlove5319]

this is one of my favorite movies

[@WolfgangAmadeusMozart1761]

R.i.p to my third cousin Johnny Ace

[@beaniegee5129]

I hope you do an accidental demise story on actor Keith Amos who died in 1998 he appeared on sitcoms such as Family Matters and the Sister, Sister episode Model Tia as Varique Dalton no one ever talks about him

[@MightMouse2174]

He was on an episode of 21 jump street

[@Sophisticated_Lady444]

At work getting my CU fix thanks for another great video ❤

[@lisamixx]

Thanks for this never knew this

[@beaniegee5129]

A story on actress Ali Humiston would be very interesting, she died last year and she appeared in that one episode of Moesha titled Bad Company.

[@myahayes3905]

James Brown died on christmas day too

[@flashfunk0373]

I hope you do a video on Akira Toriyama soon🙏🏾

Woooow...I remember in the mid 80s, living in Memphis tn....as a 7 yo little girl...living in my grandmothers house....we didnt have a toilet/bathroom....we had to use a bucket to do our little business in.....yes y'all it was that type of life....

[@theresawebb1968]

Elvis covering black artists isnt nothing new. Other artists are always copying black musicians.

[@WolfgangAmadeusMozart1761]

​@switchbladeserenade1732 black artist cover more black artist too.

[@theresawebb1968]

@switchbladeserenade1732 I'm with you white people are always coping styles blacks created Europeans does the same thinglik the rolling stones & the Beatles & others.

[@victorgallegos6365]

Alright ! gave that thumbs up well done, I do agree J. Ace should be in music HOF everywhere. Now listen up an I will share with y'all what happened on that X-mas day this told to me by my parents who were fans of J. Ace an I grew up hearing his songs being played all over the house. The folks were texans, San antonio & Corpus Chisti areas. I have always belived this growing up an what they told me was this J.Ace was amazing an crooned his songs from actual heartache. Such pain an melancholy comes only from real life experience that he endured. Apparently he had many women because of his fame but he was not a handsome man, actually kinda ugly an women did not stick around. And he could not take it anymore an at the concert played russian roulette. And eneded his suffering.very sad to a great talent. Sorry about my spelling but this is what I was told an always believed to be true. He died from a broken heart , for me listening to his songs I felt his pain. RIP. Just sharing don't mean to upset any body. If you reply let me know what you heard to be true .

[@slhickinson43]

First ❤ one and I'm here for it 😊

Thanks for all you do and the time that it takes to put into making these videos. Do you have or will in the future be getting a paypal account?

[@gc3k]

Any plans to do a video for Lisa Left Eye Lopes? Not just her passing, but her last solo album and other plans outside the music

[@jamesswapinski9190]

Ahhh Johnny Ace.. that wonderfully slightly off-key baritone..not in r&r hof and close to being forgotten.. deserves to be remembered for more than the stupid way he died

[@Shanisunshyne]

I loved the movie Christine❤

[@MonicaMariaMcLean]

You should do a story on Elvis presley rest in peace ✌ to the rocking in roll King 👑

[@thepointsnorth]

I just found out about Johnny Ace from the Russian Roulette Wikipedia. Have a listen and it’s stunning work. David Lynch style dark sexy 50s hell yeah
