So many of the 1950s-60s recording artists have died in 2012---including Etta James, Earl Scruggs, Robin Gibb, Tony Martin, Kitty Wells, Levon Helm, Jimmy Jones, Joe South, Scott McKenzie, Dave Brubeck, Dorothy McGuire, Russell Arms, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Earl "Speedo" Carroll, Doc Watson, Doug Dillard, Andy Williams, R.B. Greaves, Mickey Baker, Jimmy McCracklin, Davy Jones, Billy Strange, Herb Green of the Platters, and Fred Milano of Dion & the Belmonts---if the moderators have no objections, I'd like to start a 2013 obituary thread for this forum. Yeah, it might be sad to look at when 2013 is over but I think it would be better than sdtarting a new thread each time someone dies. We could also share our memories of the deceased: records, concerts, etc.
We still have a few more days left in 2012 and now there's another death to add to the above list: Fontella Bass, most known for Rescue Me in 1965, died December 26 from complications of a heart attack. She was 72.
