Laura Branigan died in 2004 in her sleep at age 52 with an aneurysm, but I could watch her sing "Gloria" anytime of the day. Blues fans should like this.
Sweet was one of the original glam rock bands and singer Brian Connolly was just like David Byron of Uriah Heep, a big boozer who died too soon. He left the band in the late 70's and died in 1997 at 51 of liver failure and a heart attack.
I can remember driving my car from Tulsa to back to Florida in 1980 and hearing "Victims of the Fury" for the first time on the radio, I had to have that album. I already had several Robin Trower albums. James Dewar (pronounced like the whiskey) was the perfect vocalist for Trower. Unfotunately he left us too soon., he had a stroke in 1987 that required constant care and then finally left us 15 years later when died in 2002.
Edwin Starr's live performance of War on British TV is one of the best television performances of all time. He also left us too soon, he died of a heart attack in 2003 at age 61.
