  1. "Rock and Roll Heaven" is a song written by #AlanODay and Johnny Stevenson, popularized by #TheRighteousBrothers. It is a #paean to several deceased singers such as #JimiHendrix, #JanisJoplin, and #OtisRedding, and has been rewritten a number of times to include other singers. The song was first recorded by the band #Climax in 1973 (co-writer Stevenson was the keyboard player for Climax, and the song was specifically written for the band's lead singer, Sonny Geraci).
