These were the most productive years of his professional life. In 1960, his private life took a turn for the better when he met pianist Alice McLeod at a party in Detroit. They moved in together in the summer of 1963, and she bore him a child, John Coltrane, Jr., in August of 1964. A second son, Ravi, was born on August 6th of the following year, and in August of 1966 he and Alice were married. In March of 1967, his third son, Oran, was born, and sadly on July 17th of that same year John William Coltrane died in Huntington Memorial Hospital.
