Mel McDaniel - Stand Up

Melvin Huston McDaniel (September 6, 1942 - March 31, 2011)[1] was an American country music artist. His chart-making years were mainly the 1980s with his hits from that era including "Louisiana Saturday Night", "Big Ole Brew", "Stand Up", the Number One "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On", "I Call It Love", "Stand on It", and a remake of Chuck Berry's "Let It Roll (Let It Rock)".
McDaniel's type of country music has been referred to as "the quintessential happy song" in comparison to other country artists who discuss broken hearts and lost loves. When asked why most of his songs are mostly positive, McDaniel told the Anchorage Daily News that "there's enough things in the world to keep you bummed out" and that his fans don't want to "hear me singing something that's gonna bum 'em out some more
On November 14, 1996, he had a near-fatal fall into an orchestra pit while he was performing at the Heymann Performing Arts Center in Lafayette, Louisiana. This ended his touring career and he underwent several surgeries thereafter. McDaniel never recovered from his injuries. On June 16, 2009, McDaniel suffered a heart attack, putting him in a medically induced coma in a Nashville area hospital according to The Tennessean. McDaniel's wife, Peggy, requested the prayers of the singer's fans, saying his situation was "not good."[4] McDaniel recovered from the heart attack, but on February 19, 2011, McDaniel was diagnosed with lung cancer and died at his home on the evening of March 31, 2011, as a result of the disease. He was 68 years old.[

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. McDaniel when i brought him on stage in the late 90's (i work at a radio station) I became a bigger fan than i was before...he was so nice and gracious...felt like I had known him for years... I must have done a good job because after the show we wanted me to go on tour with them and introduce him at every gig... RIP Mel
