In a tie for first...
One of the people that I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news of his death (surveying a subdivision in Salt Lake County). I was sitting in a red suburban taking notes and computing cuts/fills on curb & gutter, while Ted ran the level, and Marty ran the rod.

Years later I dated a girl from Louisiana, who had attended his last concert in Natchitoches that night. She had some additional insights into the whole affair.

walk across my swimming pool..........................or something like that upset a variety of people.
At the age of 6 (1966) I discovered my dad's album "civil war songs of the south" by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Still know every word and learned a history lesson. In 1968, an older friend gave me Led Zeppelin II, that changed everything

I've been a fan of Tennessee Ernie Ford since I was born.?ÿ Pops had almost everything that man ever sang.?ÿ Here's a unique cut of his.?ÿ The brilliant guitarist on this cut was Billy Strange who went on to have a successful career other than just studio work.?ÿ And for those that might remember, this song was originally written and recorded by Hank Williams.?ÿ Ford's version is light years above Hanks imho.
2 years ago, I saw the Yankee reinactors demonstration at Harper's Ferry. The soldiers were eating Peanuts just like real. I explained to them that the rebels called them "goober peas" and they said they appreciated the history tip

Maaaannnn! Hated JCS. Best friend growing up - his brother a 'nam vet - had THE level coolest stereo system with reel to reel turntable and every gadget in the world. We were only allowed to play the turntable, and his JCS album was everything to the cute girls in our class, so we got stuck listening to that over and over .. hate it.
He did have 'Schools Out for Summer' and 'Horse with No Name'. We rocked to that, and a few others I can't recall.
It turns out that is from King Herod's Song portion of Jesus Christ Superstar. That youtube clip is a bit over three minutes. I will not provide a link here.
@loyal I went to Glassboro State College what's his guitarist. I hung out with him a few times while in school. 1 time and all nighter. He's very talented. I was living in New Orleans that night when the plane crashed. I got a lot of calls from his friend in South Jersey the next day wanted to get information
Around the house I was going it was Davy Crockett from the TV show. Riding around in the car it was flying purple people eater

Somewhere there is a picture of my little sister and I sitting at my Grandmother's kitchen table wearing our coonskin caps (circa 1955).

Another classic I remember attempting to sing.?ÿ I assume I got some strange looks as I sang about murder and hanging, but I really don't remember.?ÿ I was only five when this one was at the top of the charts.
One of these two might have been someone's favorite way back when.
