The music industry deaths this month are terrible, I am surprised no one has said anything, so I guess I will.
It wasn't just David Bowie, who I posted about on the previous page, he passed away Jan 10 from cancer at the age of 69.
Eight days later Glen Frey on Jan 18, Cause of death: rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia, Age: 67.
That video reminds me why I didn't like NYC, but who makes music like that?
Then there was Paul Kantner, of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship, Died: Jan 28, Cause of death: multiple organ failure, Age: 74
There were also several others this month (January 2016) including:
Mic Gillette of Tower of Power, Died: Jan. 17, Cause of death: heart attack, Age: 64. An original member of TOP, he also performed with Sons of Champlin, the Doobie Brothers, Santana and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Dale Griffin, drummer for Mott the Hoople, Died: Jan. 17, Cause of death: Alzheimer's, Age: 67, he played on "All the Young Dudes," MTH's 1972 hit, written by David Bowie.
Gary Loizzo, of The American Breed, Died: Jan. 16, Cause of death: pancreatic cancer, Age: 70, Their biggest hit, "Bend Me, Shape Me," peaked at No. 5 in 1968. He went on to become a producer and engineer for Styx.
