414 Ray Sharpe (1938- ) “Linda Lu” 1959

“The Sharpe family lived near a seedy bar called Cocoanut Grove. Undaunted by the bar’s tough reputation, young Ray talked the owner into letting him play and sing for tips. He proved so popular that he was repeatedly asked back, and by the time he graduated from high school, music had become a lucrative alternative to train for a career as an interior decorator” (Ken Burke, Contemporary Musicians, 2005).
