A yet-anonymous group of soul fans purchased a grave marker for the
great James Carr upon hearing that his grave was unmarked. The
headstone was placed last week, and I took a look, and posted a photo
at my website:

Hopefully the same group has some love and a little more dough for
O.V. Wright who still lies in an unmarked grave nearly 30 years after
his premature death. The owner of the cemetery O.V. lies in says that
a marker would cost $1200. If anyone has the wherewithal to start a
collection, I'd be glad to help, being here in Memphis.
