He once said of his reliance on heroin to relieve his anguish and self-doubt: "If this is what it takes, then this is what I'm going to do, whatever dues I have to pay." During one 16-year period, he marked more time in prison and hospitals than on bandstands. Miraculously, though, his style grew into a distinctive, fiery...
