Willie King date of birth

Dear Chuckiesdad

There was some confusion when WIllie King died about his birth date. Having worked very closely with him during the last few years of his life, including having a copy of his birth certificate, the facts are that i) his birth certificate gives his date of birth as 25 March, 1943 and ii) he always celebrated his birthday on 18 March, saying he was born a few days earlier than his birth certificate stated.

I note that the New York Times reference now says Mr. King died at 65. My guess is that somehow "8" and "18" got confused and once the rumor started it was hard to stop.

Thank you for your work on this page - Willie was great musician and outstanding human being. --Rasherson (talk) 06:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasherson (talk • contribs) 05:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your insight on this, Rasherson. Why don't you post what you said here to the article Talk Page where others can see it? There's already a discussion there about the lack of evidence for his birth date, and I think this takes care of it. I'll add a reference in the article citing his birth certificate. Best regards, Chuckiesdad/Talk/Contribs 14:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've updated the Talk Page as you suggest. Your help is much appreciated. Rasherson (talk) 23:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
