(Started March 23rd, 2023) Part 6 of Singers Who Died Way Too Young

Hello,

Almost two years later I'm continuing this series with the added way too early death of Sinead O'Connor.

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 bands for the most part.

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, which is the second blog in this series.

What do Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, John Bonham, Selena, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Jim Morrison all have in common? They all died way too young. What have we missed out by not having these legends living a normal life span? How many more slinky and funky songs could have Michael Hutchence come up with if he had lived longer? How many more classic songs could've Patsy Cline added her unique touch to? How many more amazing songs did Led Zeppelin have in them if John Bonham hadn't died at the too young age of 32? His death is the main reason that the mighty Zep broke up. It's a tragedy all of these amazing musicians died so young, but it's also a tragedy all the great music they left behind.

I was listening to MJ's 1991 "Dangerous" CD the other day. While it definitely isn't another "Thriller" it also isn't filler. This is one of the best songs from "Dangerous". "Who Is It":
