Born on this day in 1947, David Robert Jones.
Sadly, we lost him 69 years later, on Jan 10, 2016.
We'll hear a song from him at 6:20 on The Early Edition.
It's a good one! Stick around.

On Nov. 14, 1938, the Lions Gate Bridge opened in Vancouver.
The bridge only took 593 days to build, and it wouldn't have happened without the wealthy Guinness family.
A bylaw also prevented any Asian person from helping in construction of the bridge.
This is the story.
