Gene Clark

Gene Clark is known as a founder member of the Byrds, and performed with them between 1964 and 1966. He was a prolific songwriter and a singer but failed to achieve commercial success. He was one of the first artists to exploit newgrass, country rock and what was to become alt.country.

Clark joined drummer Michael Clarke for a series of shows billed 'A 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Byrds.' and the pair soon found themselves in an ugly legal battle with Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman.

Clark's health continued to decline as his drinking accelerated and on May 24, 1991 Gene Clark died at the age of 46. His simple headstone is inscribed 'Harold Eugene Clark - No Other'.
