Fair use rationale for Image:Jay Black.jpg[edit]

Image:Jay Black.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Opera singer?[edit]

I have read in many places that he studied singing opera, wanted to be an opera singer but gave it up, sang opera but turned to rock 'n' roll (like Screamin' Jay Hawkins OMG) and I think none of that is true. He simply had a great natural voice, never needed any training because he didn't need it... but the article should say more about how and why he became a singer, and if he studied singing and where. Of course if he never studied it, the article should say that as well, to imply that he was a phenomenon, a freak of nature.
