Still riding high on the chitlin circuit, Billy Stewart started off the new decade and the new year with brand new 1970 Ford Thunderbird. In less than 2 weeks, he and three of his bandmates would drive to their next gig only to have the wheels lock up , causing the driver to lose control and plunge into the Neuces River of North Carolina and killing all passengers instantly. He was only 32 years old. Stewarts family sued The Ford Motor Company and it was eventually settled out of court for roughly half a million dollars.
