Folk singer Pete Seeger was likely the last person to ever hear bluesman Big Bill Broonzy sing. He recorded the private performance and the next day, doctors nicked Broonzy’s vocal chords while performing cancer surgery. The bluesman never sang (or talked above a whisper) again.

Waylon Jennings and Caroll Spinney, who played Big Bird (and Oscar The Grouch), were good friends.
