MARVIN GAYE was the BEST!
Let's get it on. I grew up on Marvin. What was the name of the woman who sang this song with these lyrics? "Stay with me while we grow old, and we will live each day in spring time." I think the title was Loving you but not sure. That woman could break glass when she hit those high notes.
Mozart.
John Lee Hooker's dead? How did I miss that? I gotta get out more...
Harry Chapin
Janis Joplin
Jim Croce
Janis Joplin, SRV, Karen Carpenter, John Denver, Patsy Cline, Elvis, Keith Whitley,Marvin Gay, Sam Cook, Buddy Holly
*Freddy Mercury*
John Lennon
Curt Kobain
Janis Joplin
besides those already mentioned...maurice gibb.
Peggy Lee who sang one of the greatest songs about life, Is That All There Is?
The day she died I said, "I guess that's all there is."
<sigh>
Tammy
Kurt Cobain - miss him, when he died, I was stunned, and was speechless. I was in a state of shock.
Jimi Hendrix - I was little when he died, but got into his stuff later, and I do like it. When I went to the Rock & Roll Music Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio - there was a display of his works: I have never seen handwriting as crafted and beautiful as Jimi's.
John Lennon - I was getting ready to leave for my high school that cold December 1980 morning, when I saw this on the morning television news. It was very strange. Some of the teachers at school were so sad.
Jim Morrison - loved that voice. But what a mess he was. Sad, so many musicians died of overdoses of one sort or another.
Falco - Austrian singer, died in a car crash. He used to visit Toronto often, and he was well liked here. He did the song: Der Kommisar, Vienna Calling and a few more and one called: Jeannie, which was (if I'm correct) based on a true story of a young woman who was murdered.
Klaus Nomi - could you get any man to sing higher notes?? He was unusual, freakish looking, but opera-trained and was actually quite funny. One of the first performers to die of AIDS back in the early 1980s. I believe he was originally from Germany.
George Harrison - taken early by cancer. What a pity.
Too many to name, but these are a few I can think of, off the top of my head.

That was Minnie Ripperton...
