- Standing out than the rest, Ultimate Warrior became one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWE (back then in the WWF). During his run from the 1980s-90s, Warrior became known for high high energy when running down to the ring with his music hits, shaking the ropes during his entrance, his signature move, the Gorilla Press Drop and the Big Splash, which seems that Warrior would be one the only non-heavyset built wrestler to use it.
Before reaching high status to become a main eventer in the WWE, Warrior became popular when he became a two-time Intercontinental Champion by defeating the Honky Tonk Man (Wayne Farris) (within 32 seconds at the first ever Summerslam in 1988) and Ravishing Rick Rude.

As Lana Turner sued for divorce a second time in 1944, Crane starred in three films, Cry of the Werewolf, The Crime Doctor's Courage, and Tonight and Every Night. Following his brief acting career, Crane entered the restaurant business by purchasing Lucy's, a popular hangout for celebrities. Moving abroad in the late 1940s, Crane married French sex symbol Martine Carol.

That same year Crane catapulted himself into a restaurant legend and entrepreneur by creating The Luau, a Polynesian themed restaurant frequented by celebrities and located at 421 N. Rodeo Drive. In 1958, Crane started his chain of Kon Tiki restaurants which were located in Sheraton hotels across the United States and Canada. The late 1960s brought about other restaurant ventures, such as SCAM and Stephanino's, and restaurants owned by Stephen Crane Associates remained popular until the late 1970s.

Johnnie Taylor is a three-time Grammy-nominated American recording artist and songwriter who performed a wide variety of genres, from blues, rhythm and blues, soul, and gospel to pop, doo-wop, and disco.
Johnnie Taylor was born in Crawfordsville, Arkansas. He grew up in West Memphis, Arkansas, performing in gospel groups as a youngster. He had one release, "Somewhere to Lay My Head", on Chicago's Chance Records label in the 1950s, as part of the gospel group The Highway QC's, which had been founded by a young Sam Cooke. Taylor's singing then was strikingly close to that of Cooke, and he was hired to take Cooke's place in the latter's gospel group, The Soul Stirrers, in 1957. A few years later, after Cooke had established his independent SAR Records, Taylor signed on as one of the label's first acts and recorded "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" in 1962. However, SAR Records quickly became defunct after Cooke's death in 1964.
In 1966, Taylor moved to Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was dubbed "The Philosopher of Soul". He recorded with the label's house band, which included Booker T. & the M.G.s. His hits included "I Had a Dream", "I've Got to Love Somebody's Baby" and most notably "Who's Making Love", which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1968. "Who's Making Love" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
During his tenure at Stax, he became an R&B star, with over a dozen chart successes, such as "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone", which reached No. 23 on the Hot 100 chart, "Cheaper to Keep Her" and "I Believe in You", which reached No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart. "I Believe in You" also sold in excess of one million copies, and was awarded gold disc status in 1973. Taylor, along with Isaac Hayes and The Staple Singers, was one of the label's flagship artists. He appeared in the documentary film, Wattstax (1973), which was released in 1973.
In 1996, Taylor's eighth album for Malaco, Good Love!, reached number one on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart (No.15 R&B), and was the biggest record in Malaco's history. With this success, Malaco recorded a live video of Taylor in the summer of 1997.
Taylor's final song was "Soul Heaven", in which he dreamed of being at a concert featuring deceased African-American music icons from Louis Armstrong to Otis Redding to Z.Z. Hill to The Notorious B.I.G., among others.- Richard Allen was born on 10 June 1871 in Crawfordsville, Indiana, USA.
