14. Mel Street
A cool name for a cool dude. Mel Street was a country singer in America, and while the finale to his life was less than ideal, his musical career was pretty impressive. He was the star of his own television show which aired on Saturday nights for those groovy kids way back when. Before he moved to a large record label (GRT Records), he belonged to a much smaller company called Tandem. He made it to the Top 20 Hits list two times with “You Make Me Feel More Like a Man” and “Forbidden Angel.” Unfortunately, fame took its toll on Street, and he became very depressed. On his birthday (October 21, 1978), he took his own life.
