Timeline

1951

Billy Murcia (October 9, 1951 – November 6, 1972) was an American musician who was the original drummer for the New York Dolls.

Murcia was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in Jackson Heights, New York, United States.

He and Sylvain Sylvain both attended Quintano's School for Young Professionals, in the late sixties.

It was at Quintano's that they met Johnny Thunders, also a student there.

1967

They made their musical debut in 1967, in a band called "The Pox".

They owned and co-managed a clothing business called "Truth and Soul".

Murcia was a fundamental ingredient of the original New York Dolls sound and played during their now-legendary series of weekly shows at the Mercer Arts Center.

1972

While on a brief tour of England in 1972, Murcia was invited to a party where he passed out from an accidental heroin overdose.

In an attempt to revive him he was put in a bathtub and force-fed coffee, which resulted in asphyxiation and death.

1973

He died before the New York Dolls recorded their first album and was later replaced by Jerry Nolan in 1973.

The final gig of their tour, at the Manchester Hardrock, was canceled, and the band flew back to New York City.

Murcia can be heard playing live with the New York Dolls on Lipstick Killers: The Mercer Street Sessions.

Johnny Thunders wrote a song called "Billy Boy", in honor of his friend and former band member.

1985

It was recorded on Que Sera Sera in 1985.

The song "Time", from David Bowie's Aladdin Sane album, references Murcia and his untimely demise.
