And Billie Holiday......

Man! How could I forget them?????

 

That was pretty sexist of me to have an all-male list, wasn't it?

 

To show that I am not a pig, let me add:

 

 

Karen Carpenter

Mama Cass

Patty Donahue

Wendy O. Williams

 

(how’s that for a diverse list, huh?)

cheaptrick --

 

Karen Carpenter had a fantastic voice that you could listen to all day.

 

I also wish Elvis had made it. I thought when he died that he would grow old and be like Perry Como -- a voice that sang clear up into his late 60's and early 70's. That soft crooner's voice. Not like Frank Sinatra, who's voice became raspy and gone!!!

 

But if Elvis had kept up with the pills, smoking and drinking, his might have also messed up by now. I would have just like have had the opportunity to hear what he would have sounded like. Elvis could really sing the ballad-type songs.

Cliff Burton (MetallicA)

 

Steve Clark (Def Leppard)

 

Def Leppard hasn't been the same without Steve. Not saying they are bad now. Just not the same. Same with MetallicA and Cliff Burton. Just not the same.

 

Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

Randy Rhoads

 

Jimi Hendrix

Cheaptrick.....

 

I could have sworn that he passed away a couple

of years back......

 

However, I've "apparently" buried him too soon....

 

YIKES !! :blushing:

 

He was born in February 1928.... which would make

him 75 years old now.

 

Mark this correction down....my bad !!
