Paul Davis was definitely an underrated, but highly talented singer. Was awesome to grow up during the late 70s-early 80s to hear him on the FM! He had a hit song from the Karate Kid soundtrack too!
Yes, he was. My first love of the long-haired hippie ❤
Thank you John for giving Dan Fogelberg his due...
Agreed. Dan was underrated, but he had a very large and loyal following despite his lack of radio success later in his career. He was a fantastic songwriter. Leader Of The Band is a world class masterpiece in every possible sense. He was an intellectual and that characteristic manifested in his music. I can’t imagine a more beautiful lyrical sentiment than what he created for Longer. His sheer genius for melody, instrumentation, chord voicing, harmonic sophistication and overall impeccable taste are on full display here. I’ve owned a copy of his greatest hits on vinyl, cassette and CD for over thirty years, and it’s still just as powerful as ever.👍
Dan Fogelberg was an amazing singer/songwriter/musician. His debut album is full of songs with beautiful and descriptive lyrics, sung by an incredible voice.
Dan Fogelberg was an amazing talent in every way every single song was good.
I love the song I really want to see tonight!
my fave is "Nether Lands"
Dan was epic!
Paul Davis was a talented singer/ songwriter. He had a beautiful voice. Broke my heart when he passed. He was a wonderful person. He’s truly missed.
Real decent guy. Made great music.
Paul Davis was a staple in my life. I wore out the grooves on "Singer of Songs, Teller of Tales".
Yes, I was surprised how little attention his death got. He wasn't considered worthy of an obit in the NY Times online, for starters.
His first song I Go Crazy. What a beautiful song. I remember I bought the 45.
Loved him
Dan Fogelberg was a shock. He wrote some beautiful music and lyrics. Robert Palmer's passing was a stunner too. Addicted To Love has got to be one of the greatest rock songs to ever hit the airwaves.
Leader of The Band is solid
Brad Delp was the voice of Boston. One of rock's finest vocalists ever.
Yeah I felt like he didn't get more than a feeling when he passed
Delp invited his sister in law to live in the spare room in his house. He then installed a system of peeping Tom cameras in the spare bedroom.
He got caught and that's when he killed himself. Pretty sorry.
Yes he was, he had some of the best soaring vocals ever in RNR
I agree his voice was one. Many can repeat with practice. Boston will never be same
So missed. Rip.
Brad Delp doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best rock singers of all time 😞
Agreed. He had a wonderful voice with great range.
What a rock singer, he could belt out anything, like Don't Look Back, or More Than A Feeling, Brad was a giant vocalist. I still miss him today🤘😢
Agree
Totally, I still love Boston to this day.
I remember the day i heard about Brad. I was devastated and still listen to Boston all the time! RIP Brad✌🏻
Pete Ham of Badfinger. Writer and singer of No Matter What, Day after Day, Baby Blue and co writer of the now standard Without You died with zero fanfare.
Yes, his suicide was basically ignored. Also, Tom Evans the other lead singer of Badfinger, and Pete's co writer, also hung himself eight years later.
Member of the 27 Club as well. Badfinger -- what a tragic story all round. Amazing band though.
@@suefields4254 Badfinger's fate was primarily the result of greedy handlers and management. They were screwed over for money which pushed Pete Ham into a deep depression. As you know, he took himself out. Tom Evans couldn't shake the loss of his great friend and bandmate. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did after Pete's death. Sad all the way around.
Pete was a absolute legend x
@@michaelwolf6424 Yes, that is so sadly true. It breaks me heart to think of how deep it must have been for Pete. He was only a few days short of turning another Birthday in his life, as well as being an expected Father for his Daughter, who was born, the following Month. Just heartbreaking. RIP dear Gentle Soul. 😞
A few more: John Wetton- lead singer and bassist of Asia, UK, and King Crimson, Greg Lake- lead singer and bassist of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, and Asia, Jerry Corbetta- lead singer and keyboardist of Sugarloaf, Ray Thomas- one of the Moody Blues' lead singers and flutist, Davey Jones- Monkees lead singer. All gone too soon.
Great, but unfortunate list
John Wetton and Greg Lake are highly regarded by musicians and that's all that matters. They will always be remembered.
@Doctor Detroit Love Greg Lake. His voice is like butter. That version of Epitaph that was on here that had the backing tracks removed is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I've ever heard. Saw him only twice sadly.
@@seekushallfinde Fans don't matter ????
I loved Wetton’s voice. Asia, a progressive rock supergroup. Man, they were good.
The death of Brad Delp hurt the most. I do listen to all the listed vocalists on a daily basis. Long live Classic Rock!!
Robert Palmer was such a fixture in the 80's. I was genuinely surprised there wasn't more coverage of his passing.
Read my post he is the only one I liked.
Robert Palmer was one of few whose passing brought tears to my eyes! I still love his music.
Yeah, I only found out he passed a few years ago to be honest - I remember listening to one of his songs one day and I said "wonder what Robert Palmer is up to these days"..... yea, about that lol Always loved his music, he was a legend!
If I hadn't read about it in the the obituary section of the British music magazine MOJO, I wouldn't have known about his death until now.
Yes ... I was surprised too ... I can't remember his passing being reported on MSM at all ...
I was, and am, such a big fan of Dan Fogelberg. RIP sir.
One of the most brilliant singer/songwriters of the 1970's-early 1980's. "Longer"...one of the most beautiful songs ever written...
We love ...u...Dan Fogelberg....&... missss u...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"GOD".... rest ..in...peace...
Some of the best love songs on radio in 70's & 80's decades were sang by Dan Fogelberg.
Reminds me of the roller skating days. All of them.
I saw Robert Palmer at the Ocean State Theater in Providence R.I sometime in the 80s. He sang all his hits of the time but also played a ukulele and sang some old crooner songs. It was a wonderful insight into the fact that this
Rocker with his smooth, deep, rich voice was capable of great diversity . Excellent Ukulele player. Well dressed and a relaxed performance. He was the real deal. He sounded excellent live and was never off key. A talent gone to soon. I miss all the talented Artists from this Rock History article. Boston was a refreshing sound. Great vocal. Talent. I've listened and had all the albums of these artists. I miss them all! Thank goodness they left us their music 🎶
I don’t get all giddy over any celebs, but....Shed a tear when he passed. Just because he was such a calm cool cat. And a great voice.
“Sometime in the 80’s”.... whew! I get that....
That voice was largely the product of his heavy smoking which likely contributed to his heart attack. But he had some great tunes in the 80s. I’m jealous of anyone who lived where you could find out about and get tickets to concerts without having to drive 3 to 4 hours and rent a motel room which made going to concerts cost prohibitive for us.
RIP to all these talented vocalists.
Dan Fogelberg, that one hurt. I still miss him even to this day.
Me too
Me too.
Leader of the Band. Timeless.
Same Aud Ang Sang, there's great classic played usually between Christmas and New Years.
Visiting my brother who went to Bradley U. in Peoria I was fortunate to see Dan Fogelberg perform there. " The River" is my fave from him. Obviously written about growing up in Peoria.
Thank you for including Dan Fogelberg....my fave!
When Palmer died I remember feeling like I was the only one who cared. Very under rated.
You weren't the only one.
I promise, you weren't. ❤
Montreal cared
He should have mentioned Vinegar Joe Band Robert Palmer & Elkie Brooks ..also the fact Little Feat backed Palmer..think it was Sneakin Sally through the Alley ?.
He was a class act ,super cool,and a great artist,and still missed by many
Nobody mentions Eddie Rabbit anymore. Although he was a Country Pop star and not a Rock star. I always liked his singing and songs.
RIP Eddie Rabbit
RIP to All-They all deserve to be remembered and had their own individual sound and styles.
Eddie was one of the greats .
I was fortunate to see Eddie Rabbit live (second row!) in Branson not long before his death. One of the very best live shows I've seen, out of hundreds!
Oh, and I'm not even much of a country fan.
Eddie Rabbit was another singer that I thought was still living but no longer singing. I went several year thinking he was still alive but only found out last year (2020) that he passed away in 1998. I was actually shocked.
His era actually had good Country Pop music. Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys, Juice Newton and of course Kenny Rodgers. Infinitely better than the low I.Q. format foisted on the public now.
Jeff Healey!!! fantastic guitar player and actor from the movie Roadhouse.
Listened to Jeff today. Died in 2008 at only 41. Blinded by cancer at age 1 and then succumbed to it again at 41. From outside Toronto. Great guy.
Great blues guitar player & totally snubbed when he died. For alot of people may have been a one hit wonder but he so much more than that.The movie was forgettable , not because of him .
Girl you're lookin' fine tonight, and every guy has got you in his sights!
I love Jeff, and this was news to me...
Yes he was phenomenal. Jeff Healy.
I have been listening to a lot of Paul Davis lately.......Cool Night, I Go Crazy and, 65 Lover Affair..... This guy definitely wrote some good songs and had a great voice. I find the dates of his birth (April 21) and death (April 22) interesting. Thank you for sharing.
RIP to Paul Davis and the others mentioned here.
Dan Fogelberg's wife Jean Fogelberg has been publishing a story of her life with Dan. She releases the chapters on a regular basis on her personal website and the website she maintains for her former husband Dan Fogelberg. It's a good read and I highly recommend it.
Also Folgelberg had a early 70's hit "Part Of The Plan" I think came out in 1974 or '75.
Ive read them! Pretty awesome!
@@daniellaubsch1605 Yeah, to me "The lnnocent Age" is one of a great album of this period. In this kind of music.
I'll never forget Dan's live show - when he did the one man band tour. Very gutsy, but he pulled it off!
So glad Jean is publishing her story with Dan. His music was so beautiful, I still have albums of his from the '70's. I treasure his music.☮️💜
My sincere condolences to anyone who has yet to listen to a *Paul Davis* song within their lifetime. Then again, it is never to late. So all aboard, y’all.
I go crazy was my all time favorite of his. It reminds me of the winter of 1977 when we had so much snow and the feelings of a 14 year old young man had (me) for a certain 14 year old young lady at that time. Keep listening to Paul Davis and keep his songs alive.
One that wasn't mentioned was Ridem Cowboy great song .
Is Sweet Life one of his songs?? I think so.. and I have the sheet music.. a beautiful song.. i love it..
I loved PD!
Paul Davis was a true talent.
If you havent already, please consider including Bob Welch in one of these videos. He was excluded from the Rock n Roll HOF when Fleetwood Mac was inducted. He deserves much, much more
I was lucky enough to have seen Bob Welch in Boulder Colorado at the stadium that they filmed mork and Mindy. It was Doobie Brother's, Boston poco Bob Welch .1978 or 79.
All these singers were pure gems. May heaven be their bed...as you're saying the names of all their songs I'm singing them in my head...loved all their music, but Brad delp...man, what a voice...
Alvin Lee, lead vocalist and guitar player for Ten Years After, most known for the songs I'm Going Home and I'd Love To Change The World received almost no acknowledgement when he died in March of 2013. My favorite guitar player of all time. Good vocalist too.
Yup. I'm a great Alvin Lee fan. About once a year I have to pull out my Albums,then watch 10years after at Woodstock. 1of best performances ever!!!
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Choo Choo Mama.
I just recently discovered him. I play the song “Bluest Blues” quite often. His guitar licks are just so beautiful.
@@MrJohnnyDistortion don't forget, one of these days.
Alvin Lee at Woodstock singing and playing I'm Going Home was the best performance of anyone with Santana second. I'm surprised the movie screen didn't catch on fire. Grossly under rated. I'd Love To Change The World in my top ten of all time.
*Robert Palmer* - the James Bond of Rock. RIP 🙏💐
“Bond...Robert Bond.”
Bryan Ferry is shaking his head in disbelief....
Glen Frey of the eagles. My number one favorite band. Boston and Brad Delp right up there at the top also. Being young in the 1970s was the best!
But Frey passed with a *lot* of fanfare, though...
My 1st record HOTEL CALIFORNIA.
This is about singers who died without much fanfare. Glenn Frey's death was huge news and was everywhere.
He was a jerk.
Loved The Eagles and Glen Frey.
I loved Dan Seals music when he was a duo with John Ford Coley. I owned 2 of their cassettes.
Also owned cassettes from Dan Fogelberg . They will be missed. RIP
Yep, I had both of their greatest hits cassettes back in the heyday of cassettes. A large part of my cassette collection got stolen in the mid 90s, but I think I had both of those with me and still have them somewhere.
I didn't even know England Dan had passed away. Seems like John Ford Coley was the first of the duo to die, long before Dan.
@@kevinspirek8395 John Ford Coley is still alive.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ford_Coley
I saw England Dan and John Ford Coley in 1978. Love Is the Answer is one of there best! His country 80's stuff is fantastic. Bop, Meet Me In Montana, Big Wheels In the Moonlight! In the 90's Quiet Room and Quiet Room II he did acoustic versions of his 70's stuff and 80's. Both albums are fantastic!!
Dan Seals one of my favorite..
I will always miss the man with the Golden Voice. Brad Delp you are missed by more then you know. The day you died Boston Died. Rest in Peace Forever More.
I listen to “Peace of Mind” by Boston but it’s not the same after BD suicide.
Although Scholz is writer of "A Man I'll Never Be" when I heard Delp had self-extinguished I was left wondering is this was about him. I saw them live only once, but at least once.
There's still unanswered questions on brad
One of the best voices ever. My husband to,d me the replacement for him is pretty good, but no one will ever have his voice. More Than A Feeling.
Brad Delp's death got a lot of fanfare -- here in New England. Still reverberates today. Great vocalist, but also known as a really wonderful guy.
It definitely did.
It is so sad what happened to Brad. Millions of us suffer from clinical depression and it is an issue that is still grossly overlooked in this country. Can't really say that what his problem was but obviously he was suffering from some kind of depression. I heard he was a really good guy off stage as well and both vocally and as a person he is greatly missed. He has made his staple in rock history and his voice will always live.
The reason for his death is well covered. Sad but it is what it was.
It is true ,that people dont understand how deeply depression affects people ,how serious it can be ,and how it isolates folk.
Please consider the late + great Steve Marriott of Humble Pie. We lost him too soon in 1991, in his cottage fire. I still grieve for our Legend to this day.
What an incredible singer he was! Loved Humble Pie. I still listen to "Smokin" and their Live Rockin The Fillmore album.
@@FloridaRocks I totally agree! His voice was rare and full of energy.

Dan Fogelberg was and still is a musical icon in my life . Just recently Michael Stanley passed away and very few people know who he was - I have almost every one of his albums .
If you’re from St Louis you probably know who Michael Stanley was
Add to the list Michael Hutchence (INXS), Mark Hollis (Talk Talk), Corey Wells (3 Dog Night) and my personal favorite. . .Gerry Rafferty. Gone, but not forgotten.
Michael Hutchence got a lot of press coverage.
Agree on all.
Personally I was significantly bummed out when I heard about Mark Hollis' passing.
Great post!
Corey Wells deserved so much more. He was a great singer in the trio of Three Dog Night. I think Chuck Negron got way more coverage with his addiction than Corey got with his death.
Michael Hutchence received loads of fanfare. News coverage, and a worldwide show featuring a contest to find a new vocalist for INXS.
These are four great artists. Especially Mark Hollis the founder and lead man for Talk Talk. Deeply missed.
Jack Bruce no fanfare unbelievable
jack was great singer and bass player too!
Yes not enough fanfare for Ginger Baker either. 😢
So true. He was the first i thought of when i saw these vids. It was literally one line on the radio... And Jack Bruce of Cream passed away today. That was it.
So true😭
I read somewhere that Jack hung up the phone on Ginger when he called Bruce on his death bed.
I completely agree. I blame the media. My personal worse was it took me a year to learn Harry Nilsson died. Shame on the media!
I agree shameful. All you ever hear is political bickering bs. Music is more important than the lies ( fake news) the media tells us everyday.
Harry Nilsson was brilliant!
I Agree. When Prince Died Or Whatever His Name Was Formerly Known As, NPR Squawked About Him For Days But When Chuck Berry Died They Said, Chuck Berry Died At 95 In Kansas City. On An Unrelated Note, They Did An Obit On Bruce Brown & ONLY Mentioned His Endless Summer Film But NOT On Any Sunday! WTF!?!
Terry Kath had little fanfare at the time of his death. He was the lead guitarist for Chicago. He died of an accidental shooting from a gun. I have only read about him recently. His daughter who was very, very young when her dad died had just recently completed doing a film about him. Terry Kath Experience is what I believe it is called. Jimi Hendrix called him the best guitarist of all time.
In today's world, Terry's passing would've warranted a mention on Rock History Music and perhaps featured as a trending topic on Twitter. However, it *was* big news back then and covered by most print journalism outlets, and maybe some national news evening broadcasts.
I remember my friends thinking that I'd stayed home from school because of his passing; I just didn't have any exams to take that day, so there was no need for me to be there. I kinda went along with it, although I was genuinely in shock and saddened over the accident.
Wow! Can't wait for that.
In Chicago, it was a huge deal. Older people waved it off as "another Rock music death", since so soon after Joplin, Hendrix and Morrison. :-(
Jimi Hendrix has called a few guitarists the best of all time, Terry Kath, and a young Billy Gibbons, and he was in total awe of multi instrumentalist Steve Winwood who played on Jimi's Cross Town Traffic. And once when he was asked how it felt to be the world's greatest guitarist, he retorted "I don't know, go and ask Rory Gallagher".
25 or six to four
What is even more amazing is that all 4 members of Black Sabbath are still alive.
I Think They Have Help
And that all members of the Rolling Stones are still rolling.
(Well, Brian Jones died, but Ronnie Wood has been in the band long enough to no longer be considered the new guy.)
That’s because they are immortal!!
Keith Richards!
Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, on His Nickname: "It's Better Than Being Called an Asshole"
Jimmy Dewar of the Robin Trower Band, and Stone The Crows is the first one that comes to mind for me: One of the greatest blues rock singers of all time.
All these talented artists need recognition..thank you
I’d add Dan Peek from the band, America as well. If only because with Fogelberg and Seals, there were 3 Dans who passed with little fanfare in a short time period (Peek passed in 2011).
Thank you for that one.
America was never the same without him. His song, "All Things Are Possible" is still one of my all-time favorites. He, Dan Fogelberg, and Paul Davis...immensely talented humans...deeply missed...
Dan was from my home town Farmington Mo. owned a house about 2 miles from me. I know his wife also. Great talent.
I met and hung out a bit with Dan Seals back in the 70s when a band I was in opened for England Dan and John Ford Coley one time. I remember us sitting on the stage with Dan and John after the show and talking acoustic guitars and music. Absolutely lovely guys. They were already a big deal at the time, but were seemingly happy to hang out and shoot the breeze with nobodies like us.
Love Robert Palmer it blew my mind that he passed away not much was said about it we're talkin about a guy who was around for decades. His music is still played on radio stations all over the world. It's also tragic that Tony Thompson died a few years ago a magnificent drummer as you said which Chic and the Power Station and I heard nothing about it like he'd already been past three years before I even found out. Dan Fogelberg i was never into him but leader of the band is one of the most tear-jerking songs ever made. I was listening to Leader of the Band a few months ago and discovered he had died had no clue.
It's really sad to see all of these great performers pass away at that young of an age! 💔😔😥
I followed Fogelberg since the 70s and saw him in Moutain View Ca (Shoreline Ampathere) in Sept 87; I was bummed for weeks at his passing. I often play his albums "The Innocent Age", "High Country Snows", and "Captured Angel" on my HomePod while fixing dinner.
I had some of his singles (45s) but I never had many of any artists albums until later. And then I’ve just had Dan’s “Greatest Hits” type collections. But I always loved his music.
His piano tuner called me one time not long after Dan died (on my birthday) about a job opening I had resigned from. When I was also diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer at a young age I learned that was how both he and Frank Zappa died young.
His wife has recently started blogging about their life together and their journey through cancer and treatment.
Stuart Adamson of Big Country comes to mind.
Yep I remember the video "In The Big Country" thanks to MTV!
Saw and met the band in England back in 1998. Wonderful guys!! Unfortunately Stuart had inner demons that he couldn't come to terms with. Very sad.
He was also in the punk band the Skids with Richard Jobson.
Dan Fogelberg never really got enough credit... Tullamore Dew and Phoenix are hands down my favorite... “no more livin’ someone else’s dream. I have cried too, I have cried too long...”
I cried when I found out Dan Fogelburg died and I got to see John Ford Coley live and I said a prayer for England Dan and Paul Young Heaven has the best band now.
Although, not a lead singer, Laudir de Oliveira did contribute a lot to Chicago's sound. He also played with Sergio Mendes in the 1960s. When he died in September 2017, it was barely a blip on the screen. He died during a concert in Rio de Janeiro. He deserves to be remembered.
Billy Cowsill died in Feb 2006 at the age of 58, with little fanfare, in part due to his brother Barry dying a short time prior. A vastly underrated singer & studio wizard, Cowsill led his family band to pop music success with 𝐻𝑎𝑖𝑟, 𝑅𝑎𝑖𝑛/𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑘/𝑂𝑇, 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝐿𝑎𝑘𝑒 et al. Aside from that success, if you haven't already, check out his stellar work with Canadian Jeffrey Hatcher as part of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒔.
Yes, both Billy and Barry were incredible musicians and sadly both were addicts.
Love Dan Seals. I’ve had his greatest hits CD since forever, I still listen to it on long road trips, so many good songs. One of the most underrated country artists, though he was highly influential. A lot of stars today count him among their favorites.
I saw him in 1977. At our local university. With his partner John Ford cooley. Fantastic concert. My college roommate got their autograph. And I received a free album from a local radio
station. Great memories. Great music.
Rip dan seals.
Paul Davis' cover of Love or Let Me Be Lonely is my favorite. Such a nice voice.
He lived in Roswell where I grew up. Cool Night was his biggest tune if I'm not mistaken.
@@HarmonyHomeInspectionServices and 'Sweet Life"...one of my all-time favorites...
I too like his cover of the song that was sung by the Friends of Distinction. Paul had his own style certainly but his version kind of reminded me of the Squeeze. Tempted by the fruit of another. Maybe he liked listening to them too.
I didn't even know at the time that Dan lived about 40 miles from me.
The biggest farce is that Brad Delp and Boston are still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Goddamn right about that
The question is, “Why?” The organization has been taken in another direction and it sure as hell ain’t rock and roll.
They belong in ages ago. They also snub Tommy James. He had #1’s with songs later recorded by Joan Jett and Billy Idol who then took their versions to the top also. No recognition for Tommy James. I’m disgusted with RRHF:( I love Boston. I have Boston picture disc too. Me and hubby have a lot of picture disc records and colored and shaped vinyl.
It’s because it was all computer. Not a real band. They lip sync at the Texas jam

Paul Davis 👍👍
Little Richard died without fanfare!! Due to Covid, but still hard to believe. No Covid there would have been a Little Richard Week on Entertainment Tonight!
Little Richard (Richard Penniman), the legendary pioneer of rock 'n' roll, died on Saturday, May 9, 2020 at the age of 87. It was the top news story of the day. Richard died of bone cancer.
Little Richard was also in a wheelchair due to a bad hip, on a interview he said he was in constant pain.
@@burneggroll I didn’t know he had cancer. Some one very close to me suffered for Many years from bone cancer. I think when a person is suffering terribly and there’s no cure they should have what ever it takes for the pain. I pray for everyone suffering so.
Wrong. He tried to pray the gay away. So for that reason the woke sjw news did not cover his death much.
I had no idea that Little Richard had died until just now. That's a travesty.The man was a genuine legend! He had as much claim to being an original architect of rock and roll as anyone, and may have been the greatest pure rock and roll singer ever, in his prime. I'm really saddened and stunned that his death didn't get more coverage.
Some great names, grew up on England Dan an John Ford , Boston, Seals and Crofts, all help form my taste an direction in music as a player and listener. Robert Palmer was also great
When you combine the hits from brothers Dan and Jim Seals you get a huge number of really great songs. Yes they’re poppy songs and some people don’t like mushy love songs, but as Hugh Grant said in the movie Music and Lyrics, there’s nothing that will make you feel as good as fast as a well crafted pop song.
All musicians that I liked, with great songs. England Dan and John Ford Coley's song Love is the Answer was written by Todd Rundgren, and was on the 1977 Utopia album "Oops, Wrong Planet".
It's one thing to die without fanfare, but it's doubly bad when it's close to someone who did have a lot of fanfare. Etta James died a few weeks before Whitney Houston, but Whitney's death had huge media coverage. I'm not sure anyone was even aware of Etta's death.
I was, she was phenomenal!
I was aware of Etta's death. I first discovered her as a child who was into her Argo Records single "Pushover". Bought several of her albums as an adult. You don't know what soul music is until you're heard "Feeling Uneasy" from her great album Come a Little Closer. That track alone should've won her a Grammy. I was not into Whitney 's music at the time she died but loved most of her big Arista hits. It was painful watching her go downhill.
It is so sad but rock is passing into the history books, never thought that would happen
"Sneakin Sallie Through the Alley" Palmer🤘
Greg Lake and John Wetton. Brilliant musicians, and when they died... nothing but crickets from the media.
Joe Cocker and frankly, David Bowie as well. David was a private person but still, it was like it never happened.
@@rokyericksonroks David Bowie's death was the main news story in nearly every media outlet in the Uk and articles and documentaries about him went on for months afterwards, it was a huge deal. It's a shame if it went overlooked elsewhere.
When I was young, Greg Lake was a superstar. So talented. When died...nothing (and Emerson, too.).
@@Sealia77 Glad to hear DB received proper kudos back home.
I'm still listening to Mr.Paul Davis after seeing him performed on Solid Gold. Sad and pray they all are resting in peace!!!!👏🏾🙏🏾💕⚘
I met Paul Davis in 1981. He played a pro-am celebrity tennis tournament for charity in Atlanta. He even sneaked a cigarette in tbe men's room before his tennis set. He was very affable and approachable. I still love his music. "Cool Night" is a song I still use for vocal warm up.
As someone who grew up in the 70's and 80's it's sad for me to hear about someone who made such great music that means so much to me is not with us anymore.
Marty Balin, Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher
I’m 57 & this is my favorite channel, it’s all about my time from 64 till today, you fellas ROCK!!!!
Brad lived a few streets from my folks in NH. Nice, humble guy with one of the best voices in rock. I saw Boston on their first two tours, both mind blowing shows!
Paul Davis song Cool Night was such a beautiful song
Thanks for the respect given to these great Artists .
RIP to them all. Thank you for all you contributed to music. Bless the hearts of your family, friends, and fans.
BJ Thomas died a couple days ago and I’ve yet to hear it mentioned in the news.
Dan Fogelberg was a musical genius. Like all of the artist listed here, they are sorely missed.
Carl Wilson???
Benjamin Orr???
A wonderful voice
Benjamin orr what a talent he was !!!
This video means alot to me and what I mean is that I'm not a rock star of any sorts but a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor myself should be dead myself but I'm not. Was born with a whole in my heart and had open heart surgery when I was 4 years old at sick kids hospital in Toronto but now living alone here in Hamilton Ontario Canada and grew up some what normal until April of '06 when I got a blood clot which caused a stroke on my left side and went through 3 months of rehab to learn to walk talk and take care of myself and then on September first of '08 I didn't wake up that morning had a cardiac arrest which both my cat Nemo and my now ex wife Angy saved my life, loved music growing up especially stuff from the 50's-80's.
Dan Seals voice was amazing and lovely to listen to. I like over 40 songs he did with John Ford Coley
Met Robert Palmer backstage once. A real gentleman and a fracking awesome singer.
Love the passion of John in these videos.
I studied Robert Palmer.. close....wow.....
very underrated....
very smoothe....soulful....
I saw Fogelberg open for the Eagles, 1st time a stranger passed me a joint. Tickets were $6, festival, it was an OUTSTANDING concert!
It's our "only what is happening right this minute matters" society and the media. Really, even George Harrison didn't get the fanfare he obviously deserved. There are TONS and TONS of actors who we could say the same about as well. It's sad, really. These days, a lot of younger people think of Paul Newman only as a guy whose face they see on salad dressing bottles.
Gone but not forgotten.RIP to All!
I remember walking my babies for miles listening to MTV, Robert Palmer amongst so many others in the 80s.
All sad but Dan Fogelberg is one that hurt the most.
Fan since Part Of The Plan and saw him twice in the 80s. Ha, one a make good to my wife after taking family to see VH for '84. That show was good but sounded muddy.
Dan, miked combo amps and clear as day.
Lest you think he was just a balladeer, He could Rock it, too.
Great player and singer.
His song "Love Gone By" was both rocking and rollicking!
"Part of a Plan" is my favorite Dan Fogelberg song
I enjoyed the As the Raven Flies and Netherlands albums but didnt follow after. Still, i never have stopped listening to these two fine albums.
I was a huge Dan Fogelberg fan. Saw him in person 2. His Netherlands album is genius. The way the songs blend in together, is beautiful. RIP Dan, still love your music!
R.I.P., Mr. Palmer. You were simply incredible...
All talented but Delp was on another level.
Yep....the "I'm Dead Now" level.
he was great but without Tom Sholtz there would be no Boston.
All of these guys are missed in my world, John. Maybe include Andrew Gold on the next episode? Speaking of Andrew Gold, I’d like to understand why his name wasn’t mentioned in the Linda Ronstadt documentary. He was evident in a lot of the video (and obviously a lot of the music) but his name was never mentioned once!
i thought the same thing . it was a strange omission. he was a big part of her career. there must have been some issues.
Yeah Lonely Boy & Thank you for being a Friend were two of my favorite tunes I loved from him mid to late 70's.
@@daniellaubsch1605 I like those too, but "Never let her slip away" is my favorite Andrew Gold song.
I don't know that much about Andrew Gold but to have a documentary about Linda Ronstadt without mentioning him is a bit like a production of Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. He played an outsized part in the production of her albums and her 1970s success.
Lonely Boy was a great song !
Dan Fogelberg's death was reported on the network evening news, Brad Delp's also was. I remember seeing it, . That's how I found out and took it really hard.
I do remember their deaths reported on the news. Brads' was pretty well publicized.
I remember seeing Robert Palmer's death on the news.
Mark Hollis of Talk Talk was a big loss as well.
❤
Huge loss. I was stunned that day.
He was mentioned in the news in Belgium, at last in the Dutch speaking part. But Tony Lewis of The Outfield wasn't...
May they all rest in 🕊️🕊️ peace 🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏
When Robert Palmer died, all my friends called to tell me. He’s still on my playlist - classic
Great vids!! Another to consider: Tony Lewis from The Outfield. He died Oct 19th, 2020. It was right after Eddie VH, and didn't get any attention. Oh, and good work getting that Barry Goudreau interview!
The Robert Palmer passing still surprises me just because of how iconic his "Addicted to Love" Video Persona was (which has been stolen by any creative who wants to do an 80's themed montage,or even an occasional gender reversal of the video, (see Michelle Shocked) )and he was far from a one hit wonder
Here are a few more: Kenny Rogers, David Cassidy, Ian Curtis, Jimi Jamison and Gerry Rafferty. Granted, Kenny is known more for being a country singing star, but he did make a significant contribution to rock and roll during his days with the First Edition with their best known song Just Checked In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In) and also, establishing their own style of country rock leading the way for much more country rock. Also, granted, Cassidy was lead singer of fictional TV band, The Partridge Family, but during the first three years of the TV show, he was the leading teen idol in the US and was also popular overseas as well, but he was also an extremely talented artist in his own right as he showed during his post Partridge Family solo career, but the Partridge Family stigma haunted him throughout his life, but he was actually a wonderful and talented singer-songwriter who deserved much respect as he did show that he was more than just the guy who played Keith Partridge on the Partridge Family, which is why he struggled with addictions and depression for the rest of his life until his death in 2017, but again, he deserved better than he got. Curtis was the lead singer of the short lived band Joy Division, which later evolved into 1980's new wave band New Order. Curtis committed suicide in 1980 as Joy Division was about to embark on a US club tour, but their contribution to rock and roll can't be denied as they also influenced many future artists with their own style of gothic rock. Jamison replaced Dave Bickler as lead singer of Survivor until 2006, but he did make sparse returns as lead singer until his death in 2014, but with him singing lead, Survivor continued to sell records and continued to be a successful concert draw even in between hiatus' that the band took, but his contribution was immeasurable. Rafferty was the lead singer of The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel, but he did later become a successful solo artist scoring many big hits, such as Baker Street, Right Down the Line and Night Owls, and also, his contribution to rock and roll is very significant. These artists died without much fanfare, except their deaths being mentioned in the news on the days they died, but their contributions to not just rock and roll, but also music in general, can not be denied and they definitely left their mark in music. Just a thought.
I’m a Major Fan of Brad Delp. And a lead vocalist/Bass Player of the 80’s-2010.
When I heard on the local Daytona BCH radio Rock Station. That Brad was found dead in his bathroom. My heart dropped.
Never again in this world will there ever be another Man with the Golden Vocals like Brad Delp. Rest easy my favorite Vocalist of the the 70’s-80’s.
Paul Davis was one of the best love song writer and singer of his time. 47 year old and love his songs. One song he wrote was Meet me in Montana. Dan Seals and Marie Osmond sung it.
Glen Frey was truly shocking too. Although it was mentioned on the news, it was like a dead body was found on the street and only mentioned one night.
You may enjoy seeing Professor of Rock's TH-cam video about him. I saw it a few days ago.
Robert Palmer...what a voice and a performer on stage...and Boston...I dont know anyone who didnt like their songs...
Thanks for including Dan Fogelberg….. He was incredible
Dan Seals and Paul Davis were good friends and there is video on TH-cam of them performing together. I always wanted to meet Dan Seals. Loved his music and have a bunch of his albums. He had a long string of country hits. Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold) is very profound. Even the deep cuts on his albums are pure gold. I was on a job site the day I heard his death mentioned and I just wanted to quit and go home. Like someone else said on here about Robert Palmer: "I remember feeling like I was the only one who cared." If you go on a road trip, take some Dan Seals with you and sing along. It's better than any mood-altering substance out there.
