premise: Johnny Kidd (born Frederick Albert Heath, 23 December 1935 – 7 October 1966) was an English singer and songwriter, best remembered as the lead vocalist for the rock and roll band Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. He was one of the few pre-Beatles British rockers to achieve worldwide fame, mainly for his 1960 hit, "Shakin' All Over".
hypothesis: Kidd died before he could see his song Shakin' All Over become a hit.
reason: Kidd didn't die until 1966 so he had plenty of time to see it be a hit.
