Title: Besides Carl & Dennis, what artists do you wish we're still with us? Post by: lostbeachboy on July 22, 2015, 09:55:41 AM At the top I would say Marvin Gaye.
Others would include Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin Jim Morrison Bob Marley Jim Croce Ronnie Van Zant Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what singers do you wish we're still with us? Post by: KDS on July 22, 2015, 10:00:21 AM John Lennon

Post by: the captain on July 22, 2015, 10:15:15 AM (This will go over well, but) As a singer I don't especially wish Dennis were still with us. As a person, generally, of course. (I don't wish anyone an early demise.) As a writer, yes. As a personality, yes. But I don't much like his voice all that much. I realize a lot of people do. That's fine. Feel free to talk about how evil I am, or how I have no taste, or whatever. Blah blah blah.
Voices I miss and would love to have still around: Freddie Mercury Billie Holiday Gram Parsons Alex Chilton Chris Bell Roy Orbison Buddy Holly Elvis Presley Amy Winehouse Don Van Vliet John Lennon George Harrison Nico Jeff Hanson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC7ICWiN6iw Among the living, I wish we still had the best voices of Brian Wilson.

Dennis had a very soulful voice. Bluesy.. Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what singers do you wish we're still with us?

It should be what artists.. Then the list is longer than those who are still alive. Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what artists do you wish we're still with us? Post by: Smilin Ed H on July 22, 2015, 10:27:25 AM Does this thread really belong here?
Frank Sinatra Billie Holiday Nat King Cole Marvin Gaye Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what artists do you wish we're still with us? Post by: KDS on July 22, 2015, 10:40:14 AM Does this thread really belong here? Frank Sinatra Billie Holiday Nat King Cole Marvin Gaye Maybe not, but it's better than another extensive thread about the evils of Mike Love. While he didn't sing lead too much, Richard Wright of Pink Floyd is missed. It would've been nice if he'd have been able to add some vocals to The Endless River album.

Jeff Buckley (if he hasn't been mentioned yet) Levon, Rick and Richard of The Band Frank Zappa (what he could have achieved in the intervening 22 years!) Captain Beefheart (even though he quit music in '82) Kirsty McColl Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what artists do you wish we're still with us? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on July 22, 2015, 11:02:27 AM Cannot believe no-one's mentioned Karen Carpenter yet.

He would have grabbed social media by the horns and been just as prolific. Title: Re: Besides Carl & Dennis, what artists do you wish we're still with us?

Eva Cassidy, who died before her massive breakthrough mainly in Europe. And the entire frickin' 27 Club. Twenty-seven's no age to die.
