  • With such a notable musical career, is there any other hook that can be used instead of mentioning him being murdered? SL93 (talk) 04:22, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Hmm, I wrote the hook to try to catch as many eyes as possible (I think it is a shame that Rocco is almost forgotten, he is among the artists whose 78s I actively seek out), but I think you make a good point. Here are some alts, but please make better suggestions! 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 16:27, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Sorry about taking so long to get back this. I went through the references while doing other Wikipedia tasks. This meets DYK criteria and I assume good faith on the offline references. SL93 (talk) 02:03, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Also, I like ALT1 the best. SL93 (talk) 02:04, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
