Agreed, I remember her from the pub too. Lovely girl
It’s amazing to see that people still wrap friendship bracelets around the statue over in the stables. I guess that speaks volumes.
Yeah it was horrible to see her go down hill with Blake and stuff. I used to fancy her when she worked at the pub hehe

Some awesome names there.
When Marvin Gaye was murdered by his dad, Diana Ross said that she felt she'd lost a brother. They did some fantastic songs together of course. This one really choked me though, because young people in all walks of life have been destroying themselves with booze or drugs since forever, but to be killed by your own father??? I'm trying to think of the soul song which was a tribute to Gaye, can't think of it right now.

Lionel Ritchie, Night Shift. Well, The Commodores, but Lionel was the main man.
Song also references Jackie Wilson who died 1984 the same as Marvin.

Not by that point he wasn’t. He had left the commodores by then and the song has nothing to do with him

Stuart Adamson, lead singer with Big Country. Great guitarist and a real loss.
Big country, great band, could have gone on for many more years

What an amazing voice

Rory Gallagher
Gary Moore
Their skills will never be surpassed

Rory's personality, music production, writing, style of guitar work and singing were the tops

Missing you Rory, you were a great man and will live on forever amongst many peoples music collections

Slide guitar at its best


Gary Moore had everything, missed by many, will comment no more, so sad

P.S The only thing he struggled with was playing slowlysmile

Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson

Watch Canned Heat at Woodstock. If he'd lived, and that band had stayed together, who knows what they would have gone onto.

Brian Jones, I'd imagine if he'd live long enough he'd have stuck to his beloved blues roots, but I think his multi instrumental talent would have taken him down several different paths.

In her younger days my Mum went to all of the Stones early gigs and had a bit of a thing for Brian wink

As I mentioned yesterday. Your point in his album being one of the best of all time still stands today-I know people know some of the songs but to listen to it for the first time in its entirety is a beautiful moment.

One of the very few albums in history that’s perfection from start to finish.

Terry Kath - WTF was he thinking

Paul Kossoff
Rory Gallagher
Freddie
Marc Bolan
Phil Emmanuel - Tommy's older brother (YT is your friend)

Plenty of others but these guys were at the top of their game and all departed too early for various reasons

Eddie Cochrane.
Great calls for Sandy Denny. It seems a bit suss how she died in my book too.

Karen Carpenter... Taken so tragically early in now such well publicised circumstances...
