Jackson C. Frank
Jackson Carey Frank (March 2, 1943 – March 3, 1999) was an American folk musician. Although he released only one official album in his lifetime and never achieved much commercial success, his influence stretches to several well-known singer-songwriters such as Paul Simon, Sandy Denny, and Nick Drake.
==Early life==
When Jackson Frank was 11, a furnace exploded at his school, Cleveland Hill Elementary School in Cheektowaga, New York. The fire, on March 31, 1954, killed fifteen of his fellow students, including Marlene du Pont, Frank's then girlfriend, about whom he would later write the song "Marlene". Frank survived, but suffered burns over 50% of his body.〔 During his hospital stay he was introduced to music, when a teacher, Charlie Castelli, brought Frank an acoustic guitar to keep him occupied during the recovery. When he was 21, he received an insurance check of $110,500 for his injuries, enough for him to "catch a boat to England."〔
