Johnny Ace - Pledging My Love

I've been listening to a bit of this guy lately...I love this period of early rhythm & blues recordings...that smoky, echoey sound.

Anyway, Johnny Ace had a string of hits in the early 1950s and died in 1954 at the age of 25, backstage after a show in Houston, TX while playing a game of Russian roulette. And that were the end of Johnny Ace.
