ON THIS DATE in 1970, R&B singer BILLY STEWART and 3 members of his band were killed when the new Ford Thunderbird he was driving & that he bought only 12 days earlier crashed off a bridge in Smithfield, North Carolina. He was 32. BILLY, who was discovered by Bo Diddley, hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 & #7 on the R&B chart with his song, SUMMERTIME. I always loved this big brassy R&B workout. He hit the R&B Top 40 eight times & the Top 40 pop singles chart five times.
