R.I.P to all these icons.... the '60s produced some excellent music which puts todays to shame.

RIP Don Everly of the Everly Brothers (Feb 1, 1937 - Aug 21, 2021)

Thank God for the recordings that can keep their talents alive forever.

I'm 60 this year, & hearing these artists songs makes me feel like I'm 17 again. And, I can recall that long ago World, & the people I lost who remain in it. Usually, happy, cherished memories. That's a great gift these people left behind.

So many beautiful artists and songs.

The best of Rock and Roll Heaven. Thank you for the Music.

I saw you had Jim Morrison of the Doors but didn't have keyboardist Ray Manzarek who passed away May 20 2013.

Even though they are dead. Their songs will live in our heart forever. We love you all singers

GREAT VIDEO. BEST DOCUMENTARY ON THE HEART OF ROCK'N'ROLL. THE VIDEO MADE ME CRY. CHARISMATIC SINGERS. AMAZING, TALENTED, LEGENDARY. GREAT SONGS, GREAT MEMORIES. GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬

The Righteous Brothers were right - they've got one hell of a band up there in heaven! RIP to all, and thank you for the lifelong memories to be passed on to the next generation of music fans.

Louis Armstrong would be 120 years old, a bit shocking! But seriously if, only IF he was alive today, he would be only ONE of the world's oldest human beings at 120 years old, and even retired since 80 years old

RIP 2 everyone on the list. 🙏

I know all the Songs except 3.I soooo love that kind of Music,way bettet than the gibberish these days...R.I.P. to alm of them.🥀🥀🥀

Omg I loved this music and I was born on July 15 1972, I grew up listening to this stuff great stuff this was music was great.

There are some classic singers to me like Louis Armstrong with the trumpet

Thank you Random for this sharing the video because I watched already with their graveyard tours for each artist like Robin Gibb, Cass Elliot, Nat King Cole, Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Dusty Springfield, etc.because their legacy will lives on that's why all of them are very good singers. God bless you more and stay safe always. Greetings from the Philippines. 🙏

Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Alan (Blind Owl) Wilson, Bob Hite (The Bear), Larry (The Mole) Taylor (Canned Heat)

You can now add Don Everly aged 84 and Charlie Watts aged 80 to this list R.I.P.

So many gone, but never forgotten.

Rest in peace, 60's icons. Thanks so much for sharing this fascinating video with us. 🥰💕

RIP to everyone. Alot of the people on this list died at such a young age. 😥 ❤️💙💜💖🌹

You can add to this list, Billy Joe Royal, who died in October 2015. He had the hit song, Down in the Boondocks, back in 1965. This song hit Number 1 in Canada, at that time. I attended his funeral in North Carolina and as his casket was taken from a Baptist church, a recording of Down in the Boondocks, was played An exceptionally talented man. RIP Billy Joe.

Thankful for and saying prayers for those still with us, like "The Killer" Jerry Lee, Sir Cliff and the Shadows, Dion and the Belmonts, Bobby Rydell, Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, and others--God Bless and keep you safe!

Charlie Watts (Drummer For The Rolling Stones) (1941-2021, age: 80)

Classic singers & Songs 🖤

Rest In Peace. Their legacy will live on :)

I’m so glad you’ve included Dalida! 👑

Just can not believe how young most of these singers were when they passed 😱😢🙏

R.I.P all 60s musicians. 🙏🙏🙏

RIP Elvis Presley 😭😭

Growing old just means you have to see everyone around you die, and also everyone you admired.

But they still live in our hearts.

For me, this is the most emotioning video you have ever realized. And thank you for all the witnesses of that era.

Such amazing musicians gone too soon

I would love to know what they died of as soon many left us so early. R.I.P to all who are not here with us.😔😢🥺

Amazing how many of our singers did not live long lives. Sad

John Entwistle (bass player of The Who) 1944-2002

They were all amazing, yet some were so young.

If that song your "16" was released today you'd be in trouble. Good video. Much love from Wheeling West Virginia.

Great videos on your channel! With the #1 videos, it’s really interesting to read which songs made it to #1 in various countries.

A lot of these singers/musicians died really young 🥺

Thank you for putting this together, an awesome memorial.

Hopefully you’ll do one for 40’s and 50’s. Good work. 👍🏽

I miss Louis Armstrong because he sung what a wonderful world and I listened to it at my school and he was a great musician and had a great life with his songs. Rip Louis Armstrong🙏🏽

Sensational, beautiful information, total like,👍🇧🇷

This is great. If you have the time it would be fun if you did this for the stars from back then that are still alive.

Thanks for updated list A lot of the artist have passed in the year or two 😔

Love to give a mention of Paul Atkinson, guitarist of The Zombies, as well as John Entwistle of The Who, Denis D'Ell & Honey Lantree of The Honeycombs, Tony Sheridan, Pete Ham & Tom Evans of The Iveys/Badfinger, Arthur Lee Bryan Maclean & Ken Fossi of Love, Gene Clark Michael Clarke & Gram Parsons of The Byrds, Charlie Watts & Ian Stewart of The Rolling Stones, Steve Marriott & Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, Jackie Lomax, Nicky Hopkins.

Pretty good list...How about Gene Clark and Michael Clark of The Byrds, Larry Ramos and Brian Cole of the Association, and Chad Stewart of Chad and Jeremy. An interesting note, Peter Asher of Peter and Gordon and Jeremy Clyde of Chad and Jeremy have gone on tour as "Peter and Jeremy" doing hits from both duos!!!!

Respectfully, I note that most of these lists ignore the Allman Brothers Band. Four of the original six members are gone: Duane Allman in 1971 and Berry Oakley in 1972 from motorcycle accidents --each at the age of 24. Then Butch Trucks from suicide in January 2017 and Gregg Allman from cancer in May 2017. Also, Gerry Rafferty is left off of your video. I'm sure it's quite difficult to try to put everyone's favorite artists on such lists; my hat's off to your efforts!

You might have to do a "Those 50's artists still with us in 2021/22" for the sake of brevity I feel. My undying respect to all those artists featured here as well, as you have contributed to the rich artistic tapestry of this world in a special way.

This was amazing but very sad and depressing

I just realized, that nearly all my favourite musicians are dead. Kinda sad

So many died at such a young age 😪

I'M FROM 66. LOUIS ARMSTRONG, JOHNNY CASH, PATSY CLINE, THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS, C.C.R., ARETHA FRANKLIN, BEE GEES, MARVIN GAYE, BEATLES....... SOME OF MY ALL TIME FAVE MUSIC. R.I.P. 😘

3:15 Since this video, I'd add Don in the same spot as his younger brother (1937- 21 August 2021, age:84)

None lives forever but thier work does

YOUR MUSIC will forever live in our hearts: THANK YOU... R.I.P. We love you SO MUCH forever.!!!💔

If it wasn't for movies I would'nt have known many of these great songs. Movies bring them back to life.

Betty Davis Died(1944-2022) and David Bowie(1946-2016)

4:26 - 4:39 Maurice and Robin Gibb are the fraternal twins. Maurice is very funny man because I watched him some funny videos like "Cucumber Castle" with his brother Sir Barry Gibb. I really miss Robin almost one decade ago because I am watching him some videos before he passed away because I saw him to placed his hand on his right ear while they have live concert I think in 60's or 70's.

So much talent lost to the ages. RIP

So happy to see the beautiful France Gall at 4:13.

Mama Cass was so damn beautiful

If you make another one of these, could you please mention Barry, Bill and Barbara Cowsill?

Many Of These Artists Were Fantastic.

Eternal talents 🌟🙏

Please do the 100 70's Musicians video, 100 90's Musicians Video, and 100 2000's Musicians Video for us.

Miss all of them

1:35 ¡el tema de Los Años Maravillosos! ¡Grande Cocker!

Lovely tribute to these musicians Mama Cass, Elvis Presley, John Lennon had such amazing talent and their music lives on.

You have Keith Moon, but you should also include John Entwistle.

Another great tribute to legends 👏

Cuánta nostalgia con tanta belleza de canciónes me hubiera gustado nacer en aquellas bellísimas épocas aún que ya estuviera ancianita oh en el otro mundo pero dónde todo era sano y sin doble sentido el contenido de sus letras 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 exelente video me encantó

Missed out Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi from the four seasons!

Correction: Johnny cash Died in 2003 not 2013 Not trying to be rude Just helpful

Brook Benton was one of the best singers in the past century..,Born in 1930 and died in 1987 at the age of 56. Our hero. Better voice than most including (my apology): Nat King Cole.

All gone to Rock 'N Roll Heaven.

Todas são muito lindos eu amei gracias

So sad news report her this year the monkees guitarist Michael Nesmith has passed away 1942-2021 Rest In Peace.
