Music's Lost History When Silence Turns Into Classic Rock Plus Songs With 9 Lives

Two songs this time around.  The artist who was in a do or die situation and the ocean waves weren't enough to enlighten a Classic Rock favorite until he made a very important decision.  Then, Atlantic Records needed to get into the Blues game.  But it came with a request... make it up tempo.  The original songwriter didn't get to see his day in fame.  It was handed off to another man who opened many doors for millions of teens.
