Even further out - March 2013.

Udo Jürgens a popular German "schlager" singer and composer died today at the age of 80. Hardly my cup of tea but he sold more than 100 million LPs and CDs during his lengthy career.

Didn't Ray M. , the key board player from the Doors pass this year?
Wrong year but that wound still runs deep. A fine and decent human being; leader of my favorite band; and the only person in the Universe who Jim every listened to even a bit! Saw him twice with Robbie K and he just seemed so darn grateful for how his life turned out.

Paul Goddard - Atlanta Rhythm Section
I'm goin' blind - is Joan Rivers on that list?

Was Joan Rivers in the music business?

Was Joan Rivers in the music business?
