Nanci Griffith, WIllie K

I'm still heartbroken over Nanci's death.

One more I miss and was lucky to see in person a couple of times:

 

[Eulipian]

That would be my bigger post ever if I had to mention everyone.
I'll only choose one instead:

The one and only Jussi Björling,there's no other male voice in the world who speaks in my soul as much as his.
And that through the crappy recordings of the era.

(and now I'm gonna go and listen to him,can't help it )

Those who sang on stage with "The Juice" reported that his voice had a quality of communication like no other. A quality that could not be described in words. There is no equal to his bell-like clarity of tone, like something coming from the bottom of the well.

Been said already but John Lennon. Just think he had a lot left in the tank. My guess is we could’ve seen another Lennon/McCartney album. But I could be wrong. There are so many… and no wrong answer to this one.

AI can now recreate any artist singing so in the future bar intellectual property (if any exists)...any deceased artist can be "alive" once more. Someone or perhaps AI can pen new songs for the AI singer

Justin Townes Earle. He had good shows, and not-good shows. The good ones were incandescent - I remember one night with Jason Isbell opening. They blew the doors off the place. I'm sorry his demons overcame him, he had more to say.

Tom Petty. After seeing his documentary, while he was still alive, I really hoped to get the chance to have a drink with him. Super interesting guy.
