These are so touching. The Big Bopper, was exactly how he would've had he lived. A kindly ol southern fella, with grands sitting in his lap, listening to his stories. I liked Ritchie Valens & Buddy Holly; just an ol Texas boy. When u make them move, it seem so ethereal. I love it.❤ great job💐✝️🌻🌙
Here's some I'd love to see: Sam Cooke (1931-1964) Otis Redding (1941-1967) Nat "King" Cole (1919-1965) Wilson Pickett (1941-2006) Tammi Terrell (1945 -1970) Mary Wells (1943-1992) David Ruffin (1941-1991) Eddie Kendricks (1939-1992) Melvin Franklin (1942-1995) Notorious B.I.G (1972-1997) Florence Ballard (1943-1976) George Harrison (1943-2001)
@@r.a.contrerasma8578 I’ve tried to imagine how great the world of music would be had they & other great artists like them were alive. The loss can not even be put in words. At least we still have their music. I am an artist & author it’s hard work. These people were born with a great talent. I was not.
For the longest time, I wondered what Buddy Holly would look like as a senior citizen. He looked like a nice fatherly/grandfatherly type that anyone would love!
Jim Morrison, Brian Jones and some of the others would have fit right in with the modern-day Eagles in a group picture, though probably not musically (especially not Jim Morrison). Jimi Hendrix looks quite a bit like Nelson Mandela. The Big Bopper looks like a small-town banker.
For 'older people' out here, it would be sort of interesting to anonymously submit your own pictures - get the 'aged' footage back - and see how accurate these really are, wouldn't it ?!!!
I bet some of the 'aged' stars - that died of self inflicted drug overdoses at 27 and such - would love to look back and say to themselves "You idiot - how could you be so stupid throwing your life away like that ?"
Voice of Reason Your are so right and it could not have been put any better! It’s so sad to think of how much we lost! Their music, the creativity that we would have been a part of. Can you imagine Jimi and what he could have produced, the rock and the blues he would have given us! Jim and the words he would write along with his Doors. Buddy with his rockin rhythms. I could go on and on but we all know! And the loss we have felt all these years! And your absolutely right if only they would have stopped for a minute and thought about what they were doing! Or if only someone would have just been there at that moment!! Sad, but Fate has no direction or conscious!! “LONG LIVE ROCK ‘’
@@rockinrobb4350 I feel nothing but deep sorrow for the rock stars that died through no fault of their own - like Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens in that tragic plane crash - but those who chose to take drugs, willy nilly, " just to see what they would do to them " ?!! Sorry, see my original comment !
@@voiceofreason7856 totally understand! You mentioned self inflicted d o and that was what i meant to address! Sorry if it came out wrong! The tragedy of a life taken thru no fault of their own is doubly sad because there is no way they could have known what lies ahead The Great Odis Redding just came to mind! Man what an entertainer!! i wish i could have seen him just once!! Man i'm tearing up just thinking about him!! Sad! Sad! As i said before Fate has no direction or conscious! Thanks for your reply!
My first thought was the same. But I'm a psych nurse and I deal with addicts and alcoholics daily. Trust me, drug/alcohol abuse AGES you. BIG time. So, it might not be as far off as we think.. depending on how many years she ultimately would have used or if she would have gotten clean around age 27. actually she did NOT look 27, she looked 47.
Buddy Holly he would have been a wonderful father and grandfather and great-grandfather and still perform with his children and still happily married to Maria after all these years
What a treat it would have been to see old Jim Croce and Ritchie Valens on the talk shows! I bet they would've been like favorite grandpas or great uncles!
Don’t forget to add John Entwistle, Keith Moon, George Harrison, John Lennon, Ian Stewart, John Bonham, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Robert Palmer, Nick Drake, Billy Preston, Sandy West, Carl Perkins
I'm sure he will do more musicians in future videos. The video went long enough as it is.Had he done all the people you mentioned it would have gone 15 minutes plus
I love your channel, and the music is beautiful and quite fitting. It almost seems as if the people featured are lifting the veil from the other side to say their goodbyes, and let us know that they are at peace.
I appreciate this. We need more done of lesser known rockers who don’t always make the age progression lists. Thanks for the video, you went above and beyond.
If you do another one could you do Syd Barrett? I know he lived until his 60s, but maybe one of what he might have looked like if things had gone better for him.
These videos give an odd sense of closure. They are also quite sad; because of all that amazing talent, gone to soon. It is very nice that the Big 𝓑𝓸𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓻 is finally included. Thank you. Looking forward to more of these videos, as unfortunately so many more have been taken before their time, their great promise unrealized.
Didn’t do Marc Bolan any favours , but fascinating to see how they may well of looked today but we will never know what great music we all missed out on from these influential music icons .
Ever heard of a trademark look? Many famous people keep a look, glasses or a style throughout their careers because that’s what people associate them with. Buddy may have kept the glasses 👓
Really feel the Janis comparison was right on. I said that's her that's exactly what she would look like. Jim Croce and the Big bopper were also spot on
At my fitness center I ran into my high school's 1967 prom queen. I was a year behind her in school. Not surprising, I did not recognize her. A few months ago we began talking and she stated her high school and her graduation year. She then said what street she lived on in those days. I then knew who she was. Back in the 1968 yearbook there is a pictorial page dedicated to the homecoming event with about 3 photos exclusively of her. She was a babe, of course. She now looks like a typical, bifocal-wearing, slightly overweight, 72 year-old woman. Time does not stand still.
The Big Bopper's real name is JP Richardson. I live near where he grew up and went to same college as him too. You can't be from SE TX without knowing about The Big Bopper.
This is really spot on. A few years ago they would have just added a few wrinkles and maybe a sagging neck but whatever app is being used here seems to really reflect the aging process and the actual faces of these artists.
I always thought that if Jimi Hendrix had lived, he would looked a lot like Morgan Freeman and Jim Morrison would’ve probably wound up looking a lot like Rush Limbaugh. RIP
Marc Bolan one made me tear up a bit because he knew he wasn't going to live into his 30's he even stated that in an interview RIP Marc (Electric Warrior) ❤️🌹🎸
Awesome! That's great to read. I was born 29 years after his death. Fell in love with his style. He is amazing, and should be dubbed, the Prince of Rock N Roll. After McCartney, he's the second most genius musician. I think.🎸🎶
I don't think Brian Jones would necessarily have kept that pudding basin hairstyle into old age. Apart from that the others were quite convincing, especially Janis Joplin.
Wow..to see Buddy, Ritchie & the Big Bopper as if they were here today incredible. Thank you - an outstanding job! 👏

..he looked like a old sage whose got amazing stories to tell
He reminds me of sam Elliott
Thank you thank you he was definitely one of my favorite when i was a baby they would play bad bad leroy brown every night to put me to sleep !!!

I still listen to Buddy Holly and Jim Morrison - they are legends
Buddy holly is the best
I've listened to the Doors for almost 60 years. The music is timeless.

She wouldn't have looked that bad even in her 50s.
Read up on severe alcoholism.
@@michellelamar8965 I agree. Adds years.
I think she would. Think about what Keith Moon looked like at 32. He looked 60.
