Early lifeBill Black (real name William Thomas Blackwell III) was born in Long Beach, California. August 18, 1960.

The band split up when Ricky Nelson asked drummer Ricky Intveld and Woodward to join his backing band. All were killed on 31 December 1985 when the plane in which they were travelling crashed in De Kalb, Texas less than two miles from a landing strip at approximately 5.14pm. In 1983 Black joined the Huntington Beach pop punk rock group "The Earwigs"[2] and stayed with them until they split up in 1987. CareerIn the late 1980s, Black was contracted by Activision to create audio and MIDI tracks for their games.
