Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | I agree with Toby.....Johnny Cash is timeless and he blended well with other genre of music not just country......
Jerry Reed also come to mind.....Very talented and somewhat overlooked....He always made me smile! |

ka Keith, that is awesome!
I have a bunch of bootlegs and demos. Maybe you are on some of them. We'll have to talk one of these days! |

Just imagine the kind of stuff he'd be writing with the tools available now!

| Well I do miss hearing from Cliff, but I am pretty sure he ain't dead.
And that group of musicians is a tough thing to choose from as they all have their place in great music.
I guess I'd have to say Lennon......I might be wrong but out of that list I believe he was the only one who was Murdered. As tragic a loss as they all are John's life was taken away deliberately. |

Location: Melbourne Australia | Where do you start? After tossing it around and initially selecting Ray Charles I plucked Cass Eliot out of left field.
I just had to checked out the Righteous Brothers song Rock and Roll Heaven on YouTube.

Gallerinski Quote-- "JOHNNY CASH. Not that I'm a JC fan by a long stretch - he was pretty old and towards the end his performances were really sad (the Roberta Flack and U2 covers were just awful)"
Hey, "Hurt" is better than the original (in a sad sorta way).
And I just watched Glen Campbell covering REM.
There are so many, but I do miss Harry Chapin's storytelling.
We need more of that kind of music. |

We need more of that kind of music. [/QB] +1 I heard "Cats in the Cradle" a few days ago. The song still holds up well.
As for me, I'd also like to add John Denver to the list.

Terry Kath, too. I think Chicago needed him more than the other band members ever realized. |

Location: Colorado | I would agree with the original list and many of the additions since. John Denver would probably top my list of those mentioned. He was just starting to get really popular when I was a kid and my parents really liked him, too.
Brad Delp is another one that I will miss. Boston's first album was the first album I ever owned. "More Than A Feeling" will always be THE song I remember his voice and talent for. |
