This day in music history.

September 25, 1975, Soul singer Jackie Wilson suffers a heart attack while performing for Dick Clarks Rock and Roll Review at the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He hits his head on some equipment while he was falling and suffered severe brain damage. Jackie lapses into a coma where he spent the next 8 years until his death in 1984. At the time of the heart attack Wilson was singing "Lonely Teardrops"
Lonely Teardrops
Shooby Doo Wop Wop Wop
Shooby Doo Wop Wop Wop
Shooby Doo Wop Wop Wop
My Heart Is cryin',
cryin'
Lonely Teardrops
My pillows never dry off
Lonely Teardrops
Come Home, Come Home
Just Say You Will, Say You Will
Say You Will
Hey, Hey
My Heart Is Fine, Fine
Lonely Teardrops
My pillows never dry off
Lonely Teardrops
Come Home, Come Home
Just Say You Will, Say You Will
Say You Will
Hey, Hey
Just Give Me Another Chance
For our Romance
Come On And Tell Me
That One Day You'll Return
Cause Everyday That You've Been Gone Away
You'll Know Why My Heart Does Nothing But Burn
Lonely Teardrops
My pillows never dry off
Lonely Teardrops
Come Home, Come Home
Just Say You Will, Say You Will...
