Death of Robert Patton and entry of Jimmie Vaughan The group's situation was dramatically altered by the loss of their leader Robert Patton, who in a late night incident on April 19, 1966, drowned at after falling off of a sailboat in White Rock Lake in Dallas. Patton had been sailing with fellow NTSU students in his school fraternity. Though some rumored it to be a hazing incident, one of the students on board the boat, John Hargiss maintains:
I was with Robert the night of the accident that took his life. There was no hazing. Robert had already been through pledgeship along with me and Mike McGrew. We were fully initiated brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon as were the other two members of our party that night. Robert drowned when he fell out of the boat after our boat left a wind puff at 45 degrees. Three of us were all leaning over the elevated side of the boat to right it and thus avoid capsizing (called ‘hiking out’ in sailing terms). Exiting the wind puff at great speed, the boat then smacked down hard in the water. This sudden jar caused Robert to flip head over heels. I know this because he was right beside me and I almost went over too. We made all efforts possible, throwing out life preservers, reversing course, etc. However, we never saw him again.
The Chessmen continued, in spite of the tragedy. The replacement for Patton was Jimmie Vaughan from Oak Cliff, brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who had previously played in other local garage bands such as the Royals and the Gentlemen, and was brought in by lead guitarist Johnny Peebles, but upon joining the group Vaughan took over the role of lead guitar. At the time Vaughan was only fifteen, but was, even then, recognized around the area for his guitar playing. According to Alan Paul in Guitar World, "His ability to play note-perfect versions of the day’s hits helped make … [the Chessmen] one of the city’s top club and college-circuit draws". According to Vaughan, "I was making 300 bucks a week, more money than my dad. Everyone else in the band was 21, and I was this little kid with attitude and a Telecaster. I knew all the licks". Drummer Doyle Bramhall became the group's primary vocalist. The Chessmen's final single released in September 1966 featured the reappearance of "No More" from their previous single, but this time as an A-side. The flip side was the lighter "When You Lost Someone You Love". It is the group's only recording with Jimmie Vaughan. Johnny Peebles left the band in early 1967, and Bill Etheridge replaced him on rhythm guitar and keyboards. Under this lineup, they opened for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in Dallas in 1968. The Chessmen broke up later that year.
