Beatles: "Something" As per "Unchained Melody" mentioned above, one of the two Righteous Brothers oddly enough died in a hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Not to derail the thread, but why is it odd where one of the Righteous Brothers died?

Whoops, poor choice of words. Sad would have been better. See the "Unchained Melody" topic.
Backstory: The Kalamazoo Radisson is a beautiful space ship looking hotel right across from the Courthouse. I see it almost every day (I am an attorney)- and often remember how Bobby Hatfield OD'd there before their show at WMU's Miller Auditorium. I used to be a concert/show promoter and put up some of the acts at that same Radisson. That usually was a mistake as when the groups found out their rooms were on my credit card, I was often facing large room service and movie bills for the night before. Of course, no one ever asked me if that was ok, they just assumed I was loaded or something. Of course, this was after they were taken to dinner too usually. One magician (and his troupe) I put up at that same Radisson was Andre' Kole who did a great show for us in Kalamazoo. When I got his hotel bill, it was not one nickel more than the standard room rate. Now that's class (and much appreciated by me). So there are folks here in Kalamazoo that have kept their tickets to that final show (which never happened). Another oddity, it was widely reported by national media after his death that Elvis Presley was spotted going through the drive through at the Burger King in Kalamazoo located not too far from my office. That's a true story too, eye witnesses swear that it was him going for one last ride. Google it and you'll see it: "Elvis spotted at Burger King in Kalamazoo." |
