Thanks for letting me know about these celebrities who have passed away, I was only aware of a fraction of them! 😮 May their legacies forever live on. 😇
I remember listening to BJ Thomas singing in a tent at a fairground. People walking by as if they didn't know him. I stopped and listened. I felt sorry for him. Such a great voice. He should have been in a concert hall. Must have been tough times for him. I'm glad he recovered.
You missed out Grahame "Shirley" Strachan (Skyhooks - d. 2001) Stevie Wright (The Easybeats + solo artist - d. 2015) Jim Keays (Master's Apprentices - d. 2014) These three were around and on the charts in the '70s.
As well as the wonderful vocalist of Uriah Heep David Byron, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter and Leslie West, James Dewar Jack Bruce, Alvin Lee Dusty Hill. all great singers.
It’d be great if you could cover these musicians in the future: Nina Simone (1933 - 2003) (breast cancer) Mark E Smith (The Fall) (1957 - 2018) (lung cancer) Etta James (1937 - 2012) (leukemia) Doris Troy (1937 - 2004) (emphysema)
An 80 year old guy like me cant forget these amazing classic songs rip all of them And i hoped if my most favourite from that time al wilson was in that list UNFORGETTABLE WONDERFUL DAYS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Baby boomers had the best music, they got the best of the 60s and 70s, teens in either decade, saw them live in their prime, brought their records, perfect age demo for their music, many genres peaked during their youth and most importantly they had the best talents. GenX and Millennial's missed out and will never ever know. Great video OP
Wow, so many greats, and all so young! I did not know most of these people had passed! Such a sad ending to a great time era.😪 Glad I grew up to these great musicians and music! I wouldn't trade my generation for today's for anything!!!

"Yes, it's finally here!...now you too can own this box set of your favorite deceased artists!..all included here...to remind you of how old you've gotten!"
Cory Wells from 3 dog night was awesome to listen to. Awesome singing voice to hear. To Chuck and Danny sorry about your band members Cory Wells. Keep his memory alive in your heart
Ikr? Even when They're in their 20's every time I'm like they look older than 20 and whey pass at a young age I always think that they look older. They think that their lives go by so quickly.
Best you could have done is keep some of the artists from the original vide that were removed from this one, and made it 100 '70's Singers Who Passed Away Just a thought is all
