A real visionary. Some of his solo stuff was truly wonderful and he went on to pioneer lots of stuff in music and video production, basically inventing MTV.

I can't find the source now but I seem to remember reading that Robin Williams described him as the funniest man he ever met.

Sad - another name from my childhood passed. Last one standing: Mickey Dolenz.
