Eddie Cochrane,I'd love to know what else he would have written if he had lived as he was only 21 when he died.

Yes, I believe the same applies with Buddy Holly. So young a talent while with us, and such a missed talent now gone (albeit for a long time now, but surely those who are gone aren't ever forgotten).

Wow! I can't believe you would know of his music. I guess The Lords was a fairly reputable band. The Dead Boys was not half bad even if they were a Sex Pistols replica.

A couple of more to add:

Chet Baker and Rozz Williams

What a loss! Barry White was the first concert I ever saw, and I still have memories of it. My parents took me to see the Maestro of Love in 1976. I hadn't even turned 5 yet.

I heard about Barry White's death last night and he was only 58. On Red Dragon FM (A South Wales radio station) they have Dance Masters on Friday and Saturday nights. The DJ played You See The Trouble With Me, the remix that was out 3 years ago. I was shocked to hear about Aaliyah's death because she was only 22  :'(. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was the best TLC member and she did a cool rapping part on the video version of No Scrubs. I also liked her collaboration with Mlanie C on Never Be The Same Again.

thanks, I didn't think Barry was right anyway...

but just like Victor Bourge, there wasn't any big story surrounding it at all...I remember when Victor died, I read about it 2 months later in my dentist's office in a current people magazine...but Victor can be added to the list as well...

Wow! I didn't know Dan Hartman was dead! I loved his '85 hit 'I can dream about you'. 'Second Nature' was alright as well.

Did Joe Tex do a song called 'Aint gonna bump no more (with no big fat woman)'? What a title!
