    Is Hank Ballard dull? Fred Wesley doesn't seem to think so

    A lot of entertainers, however, get over on stardom alone. It was a long time before I realized that Hank Ballard couldn't sing, and I was right up there on stage with him. His showmanship, stage presence, and personality were so compelling that no one noticed that he actually could not sing. (page 302)

    As to your query, as one not fortunate enough to own an original article, I am not in a unique postition to confirm or dis-confirm this hypothesis.

    I've seen a couple other scans on other sites and they all look about the same to me.
