Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson took the lift to heaven's penthouse on May 31.
The passage of time has looked upon Roky, the leader of Austin, TX based 13th Floor Elevators as a pioneer of mid-sixties psychedelic music. Unfortunately, he endured a life of mental challenges. In spite of these issues, he managed to sporadically tour and record through the years to generally critical acclaim.
The band's only Hot 100 entry has been looked upon as "ground zero" with regards to the starting point of this era. It peaked at #55 during an 6 week stay during the late summer of 1966.
