On this day in 1971, legendary saxophone player King Curtis Ousley was stabbed to death by a vagrant outside of his New York City home.

“Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)”

A short celebration of the songwriting brilliance of Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber. Leiber died on this day in 2011.

“Well, I might take a train
I might take a plane
But if I have to walk
I'm going just the same

I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come”

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Take a look right at my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was
a green-eyed mountain jack
'Cause I'm evil
My middle name is misery
Well, I'm evil
So don't you mess around with me
