(Finished May 29th, 2021) Part 2 of Singers Who Died Way Too Young

Hello,

I started working on this blog on March 25th, 2021 and I finished it on May 29th, 2021.

A Laura Branigan YouTube video about singers who died too long inspired this blog. Laura Branigan was my favorite of the musicians listed. These are musicians that died way too young and some of their best songs, whether hits or not. I tried to go with lesser known singers for the most part, but I was also in the mood for some of The Doors.

What do Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, John Bonham, Selena, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Jim Morrison all have in common? They all died way too long. What have we missed out by not having these legends living a normal life span. B.J. Thomas, the singer of, "Raindrops Keep On Falling On My Head" died today.  R.I.P. legends.

These two songs are John Wetton's work with Asia. 6) Asia "Heat of the Moment":

"Go":

John Wetton solo "Battle Lines":

7) Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine":

"Lean On Me":

"Lovely Day":

With Grover Washington Jr. "Just The Two of Us":

All these songs are either Jim solo or with The Doors. 8) Jim Morrison was only 27 when he died. The Doors "Roadhouse Blues":

"Love Street":

"The End":

"Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)"/ "Backdoor Man":

"Strange Days":

"When The Music's Over":

"The Unknown Soldier":

"Five To One":

"Touch Me":

"L.A. Woman":

"Waiting For The Sun":

"Love Me Two Times":

"Crystal Ship":

"The Wasp":

"Riders On The Storm":

"Ghost Song":

Jim Morrison solo "The Movie":

I wasn't even aware that Pete had died. 9) Pete Burns, all of these songs are with Dead Or Alive. When one thinks of Dead or Alive what song do you think of? Yup, for most of us it's just great song. "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)":

"That's The Way (I Like It)":

"In Too Deep":

"Sex Drive":

"Lover Come Back To Me":
