Re: Passages
I think the best tribute I can pay the guy is that as a newish parent I look forward to the day I can read Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen to my kid.
What a week. Oscilloscope Laboratories put out a doco about Sendak. Well worth a look.

Probably best known to film fans for playing himself in The Blues Brothers film.
Was 70 and on tour in Japan.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
Spookily, Alan Blyth, the obituary author, died several years earlier...
Obviously, much more famous for his gargantuan contribution to classical music, though he appeared in a handful of films, and of course his recordings have featured on several soundtracks.

Re: Passages
Dear Grim Reaper,
I understand you have a job to do and that maybe it's not your fault that Adam Yauch, Donna Summer, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, each a giant in their genre of music, showed up on your list in succession. I would like to point out, in case you might have overlooked someone on your list, that Dave Matthews, a giant in the genre of crap rock, still lurks among us. Just trying to help.
Sincerely,
Matt

Should we have a "Passages: Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation" thread?

Re: Passages
Don't forget Duck Dunn, Levon Helm and Chris Ethridge, all involved with groups and works that were massively influential. (Stax's house band, the Band, country-rock blueprint Gilded Palace of Sin).
This is probably the worst run of pop music deaths in quite a while, maybe the worst since John Entwistle, Dee Dee Ramone, Jam Master Jay, Joe Strummer, etc. all died the same year.

Re: Passages
Yeah, but these things always happen in threes, so the Reaper would have to start a new trio. In addition to Mathews, perhaps the Reaper can also take John Mayer and that guy from Maroon 5?

Re: Passages
Some of the early-career Bee Gees stuff was great. This track, for example, is unbelievable.

I'm partial to this one. James Carr also does a wonderful cover of it. RIP!

And this superb edit of Love You Inside Out give you a chance to explore what the Bee Gees were good at. Sink into the strings.

Nice call on the James Carr connection. Had he been given the material ( and been a less troubled soul), he could have been recognized as one of the greatest deep soul singers.
His finest moment, for me is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbJ1xb0k5c
Compare it to Otis - James Carr was the real deal.
