(b. May 28, 1946, d. August 24, 1978 in Houston)

13th Floor Elevator 
 
Despite an occasional reunion, the Elevators disintegrated when [leader], Erickson, was committed to a mental institution and Sutherland was imprisoned. Reissues and archive compilations have furthered their reputation, but the group’s personal tragedies culminated in 1978 when
Sutherland was shot dead by his wife.
