Places and dates of birth and death

edit

According to this article, Cliffie Stone was born in Stockton, California and died in Saugus, California. However, Allmusic notes that Cliffie Stone was born in Burbank, California and died in Sandra Clarita, California, while IMDb notes that he was born in Stockton, California and died in Newhall, California, and accordind to [1], he was born in Burbank, California. Isn't there a mistake somewhere ? ^v^ FreeBird ^v^ (talk) 06:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Another thing : On Cliffie Stone's Biography, it is written that he was born Clifford Gilpin Snyder Stockton, California but also that he passed away on January 16, 1998. However, the article on WP:EN notes that he died on January 17, 1998. This point should probably be verified too. ^v^ FreeBird ^v^ (talk) 09:33, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
It looks like Cliffie Stone eventually died on January 16, 1998 and was burried in Newhall, California as it can be seen on this page : [1]. I'm going to rectify his date of death but won't rectify his place of birth since he could have been burried in Newhall, California but could have died somewhere else. ^v^ FreeBird ^v^ (talk) 09:40, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Cliffie Stone: manager from 1947 to 1957

edit

In this time frame, Cliffie became the producer of Ernie Ford’s daytime TV show on NBC. In the near future, he would be the executive producer on Ernie’s weekly primetime TV show on NBC called the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show. After Sixteen Tons became a worldwide hit, Ernie asked Cliffie if he would consider becoming his full-time manager. Cliffie discussed it with his wife, Dorothy, and then he made major career changes so that he could devote all his time to managing Ernie’s meteoric career. Cliffie was Ernie’s manager for over twenty years and they became lifelong friends. http://www.cliffiestone.com/Cliffie/cliffie_bio.htm
