Talent Gone Too Soon?
Posted by monkeytale • 5/15/08 • Subscribe to this Discussion [RSS] • Report This Topic
I've noticed a few threads today that are music related. What artist, who died young, do you wish had stuck around longer? Karen Carpenter comes to mind for me. Not that I was totally enamored by her music but she had one helluva singing voice.

Well, there are the obvious candidates from the 60s scene: Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. And from the punk scene: Sid Vicious.-
Yup... good old rock 'n roll and drugs... not always the best combo.

As much as I liked the Sex pistols and Sid Vicious you could hardly describe him as a "talent"

Oop, sorry, saw someone mentioned him above. But he merits saying twice. -
And if we're going outside of the music field, Jim Henson.
His death made me really sad. -

Tony,
I haven't heard anyone mention Jimmy Spheeris in a long time. I didn't know he was no longer with us. I have some of his stuff, and I agree he was brilliant. Thanks for the U tube link! -
Hi Kat
He was killed in a car crash some years ago. I've never met anyone else that has heard of him apart from a few of my friends in OZ.
The record company wouldn't release his CD's because there was no market. I think there was a small productio run at some point. Ports of the Heart, ultimate album.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
On October 20th, tragedy would strike the band as Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines (Steve's sister and one of Skynyrd's back-up singers), and road manager Dean Kilpatrick are killed when the band's rented plane (short on fuel) crashes into a swamp in Gillsburg, Mississippi, while en route to a gig at Louisiana University. Rossington, Collins, Powell, Wilkeson, and Leslie Hawkins, are all seriously injured but survive the crash
