The Resume

    (December 15, 1932-February 6, 1960)
    Born in San Antonio, Texas
    Recorded 'Earth Angel' and 'Goodnight Sweetheart'
    Killed in a head-on auto collision at 27

Why he might be annoying:

    His first singing group was named Three Dots and a Dash.
    He earned the moniker 'Mr. Easy' because most his recordings were ballads.
    He sold away valuable music rights for quick cash.

Why he might not be annoying:

    An eleven-year-old Barry White played piano on 1956's 'Goodnight Sweetheart.'
    He played Little Rock's first integrated concert on a bill featuring Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson.
    The event was marred by racists taunting white concert-goers to leave the venue.
    Theories persist that Belvin's car was tampered with, causing the crash, which also killed his wife.
