Doo-wop and rhythm 'n' blues singer and songwriter.
When Bragg was 17, he caught his girlfriend making love to his best friend. She fought with him and in order to explain the bruises to her parents, she accused Bragg of raping her. The police beat him until he signed a confession. The girl retracted her story but not before Bragg had been charged with six other rapes. Bragg was given six 99-year sentences and sent to the notorious Tennessee State Prison.... - Member of
