From 2006: Dr. John, of New Orleans

Grammy-winning musician-composer-producer Malcolm John Rebennack Jr, better known as Dr. John, mixed blues, jazz, rock, and faux voodoo into a rich musical gumbo, until his passing on June 6, 2019 at age 77. In this “Sunday Morning” profile originally broadcast August 20, 2006, correspondent Russ Mitchell rode with Dr. John through New Orleans history – both musical and disaster-related – stopping to chat with one of the godfathers of the city’s music scene, Allen Toussaint, and Cosimo Matassa, owner of the legendary New Orleans recording studio where Dr. John started playing as a teenager.

Inside Jayme Closs’ escape and rescue

In January, kidnapping victim Jayme Closs, 13, escaped her captor in the north woods of Wisconsin. With the recent release of 911 calls from the case, “48 Hours” has an inside look at the 29 minutes Jayme and her rescuers waited for authorities. When that call for help came in, the closest patrol cars were dozens of miles away, across back icy roads. Gayle King has a preview of this week’s “48 Hours” airing Saturday at 10/9c on CBS. Source
