The reply about LWJ was greatly appreciated. There seems to be lots of misinformation about him. Even sites that represent themselves as 'authorities' All Music Guide at times either fail to do the proper research. Perhaps they just take information that had read elsewhere as fact. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is pretty reliable source of information. Even the Wikipedia has erroneous information about LWJ. You'd think that an encyclopedia would double check to make sure that the information that they publish is accurate!

As regards what is temperament was, I think that those who really knew and worked with him (not 'the fans') would know what he was really like.

A book to set the facts straight is long overdue!

LWJ "I'm Shakin"

By the LWJ was serving time for Manslaughter not murder! It was John's position and that of his defense attorney that he was defending himself therefore, it was simply, "self defense".

His previous reputation among some and his previous record may have hurt him in the eyes of the Judge.
The judge reportedly said: 'I'm taking you "off your feet" for a while.

LWJ: " I'm Shakin"

Nice post! I too like "I'm Shakin" and I have heard just about every song in the LWJ collection.
LWJ was my father! I am currently working on a book project with a professional writer.

If you need an specific info. please feel free to drop me a note.
If you send me an email address I'll be sure to let you know when the book comes out!
