Police have launched an investigation into the death of R&B singer Jesse Belvin, who died today (February 6, 1960) in a car crash in New Hope, Arkansas.
According to original reports, Belvin, Jackie Wilson and Arthur Prysock left a Little Rock, Arkansas segregated dance, when a “white group appeared late” at the hall for their “dance session.”
The “hall” was The Robinson Auditorium. The singers were there to perform two sets – one for a black crowd and one for a white audience.
