Play List Of Songs By Those We Lost In 2017
When David Bowie passed away during the early part of January last year, music fans knew that 2016 would be disheartening. Shortly after Glenn Frey of the Eagles died, then the first two names in Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Unfortunately, the year that is just now drawing to an end has proved to be no better. Each successive month throughout 2017 seemed to claim the life of least one revered recording artist, leaving us with only their music to offer us any solace. Here is a recommended play list with my favorite song by each of the musicians we lost in 2017. The Waiting by Tom Petty The leader of the Heartbreakers, and one of the legends of the Traveling Wilburys, passed away on October 2. This title track from the follow up to Damn The Torpedoes shows him at the peak of his career. Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino October 24 is the day we lost the piano playing pioneer of rock and roll, whose most famous song will endure for many more centuries. Gentle On My Mind by Glen Campbell Although his Jimmy Webb songs are poignant pieces about Galveston, Wichita and Phoenix, this John Hartford tune gives us a rambunctious, carefree look at the star who passed on August 8. I Think I Love You by David Cassidy Not only did he possess a well-known voice, but The Partridge Family also gave him a well-known face. I played this classic on November 22, as soon as I learned of his passing. Midnight, Me and the Blues by Mel Tillis Country music fans suffered the loss of this Grand Ole Opry legend on November 19, but he leaves reminders of a great voice and the ability to overcome a speech disability. Kid Charlemagne by Walter Becker So many songs could be listed here because he and Steely Dan co-founder Donald Fagen created eight great studio albums, but this opening track from The Royal Scam is the one I put on my turntable after reading of his death on September 3. Midnight Rider by Gregg Allman The first time I ever heard his name was when he married Cher and made the front page of the newspaper, but as I grew up I became quite familiar with his music. He died on May 17. Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry The whole country mourned on March 18, as we lost the legend who with this timeless hit inspired covers by artists as esteemed as The Beatles and the Electric Light Orchestra. Only Time Will Tell by John Wetton He formed the super group Asia with several other established stars, releasing a smash self-titled debut with hits like "The Heat of the Moment" and this enduring classic. We lost him on the last day of January. Must Of Got Lost by J. Geils
