All the Musicians We Lost in 2021

[@CliffBoothe]

…and ‘22 is carrying right along. Ian McDonald (King Crimson, Foreigner); perhaps a Forgotten Fretmaster as he’s a multi instrumentalist. Thanks for your captivating productions.

[@westfield90]

Life goes by so fast doesn’t it. Rest In Peace Lata Mangeshkar. Died just a few days ago.

Very good, very well put together. Sad to see the loss of drumming greats Charlie Watts and Graeme Edge (Moody Blues), jazz great Chick Corea, 1950s greats Don Everly and Jimmie Rodgers. Phil Spector? Yes, a convicted murderer, but he was a music producer giant of the 1960s and 1970s. Damn, it sucks losing more and more (and MORE) music greats as the years pass. For me, the most painful loss was and still is the passing of Tom Petty. It still hurts.

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

Tom still hurts so much for me that I'm still struggling to bring him to the channel in some way. Petty will be in my top 5 forever.

[@markb20]

@@TheGuitarHistorian Thanks, looking forward to that.

Cool tribute man..........what a mix of talent in the sky for 2021

[@allenaviation5746]

Great tribute ut sad to watch. Jay Black (Jay and the Americans) passed last October. That guy had a hell of a voice and some hit songs!

[@Truckngirl]

That was not only very tasteful, but also educational. I had to watch a second time and stop to look up those that I'd not heard of before. Thank you for the lesson.

[@geo.cgeier3435]

Sad, great tribute to our fallen musicians!

[@sdgakatbk]

Here it is 2023 and I didn't even realize some of these people died. I was into Nanci Griffith's music for a bit and saw her live I think 3 times. I lost track of her though.

[@honder1866]

The Jimmie Rodgers who died in 2021 was a pop singer, not the "Father of Country Music," who died in 1933. The picture and caption you have here are for the latter artist.

[@Zappaholic]

Yeah, I was heavily confused when I seen him on here

[@cincox3919]

@@Zappaholic Had me going as well

[@ediblehorse]

So.. Not the Singing Brakeman? I was confused.

[@neilnoble1771]

Another great video. Nice tribute. Brilliant.

[@jaytaylor6351]

thank you and may their God go with them with love for the music they all made, one thing as a person with very poor sight, very difficult to read text, perhaps put a black panel behind text, as utube controls block low text on screen when you pause to try and read, OneLove Jay Cambridge

[@edgoswick1271]

Thank You!

[@SuperAnimelover100]

Nice tribute . :)

[@bluesingmusic3443]

I have one complaint. Jimmie Rogers "The Singing Brakeman" of C&W fame. Died long ago, in 1933. He was my step dads hero. I went to his Museum in Meridian Mississippi (When I worked there back in 1980), bought the old man an envelope with his stamp & 1st day cancellation. The old man almost broke into tears, believe me he was a huge dude. You may be thinking of the Jimmie Rogers of Blues fame. I had an album by him on Leon Russell's Shelter Records, but I just found he died 1997. I know the C&W Rogers died of TB, in 1933. His early death is a big factor in his legend, IMO. There was a Pop singer Jimmy Rogers who died in Jan 2021 at age 87 of kidney failure. Besides that great tribute.

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

Sometimes when you search on the internet… yeah the guy was 87 and I didn’t know how old the picture was. I’ll put a notation in the description.

[@Barry101er]

That’s a lot. I guess we (of a certain age) are in for a rough couple of years, as the old guard gets older

[@larrystrick1862]

Sad to see Poco has faded...

[@kervinrodriguez1833]

Did I miss Biz Markie? I didn’t see him in this tribute. Either way, you did a great job 😊👍

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci

[@audiomonster303]

I bet 2021 was the largest amount of death in the musical field than any other year ever.

[@starke2908]

Denny Freeman...Taj Mahal, Bob Dylan, Jimmie and Stevie Vaughn

[@aaronmayhew2.0]

Peter Cornet from Floater as well. 😒

[@jamesd.5940]

Shit I can fingerpick with the best & I will die with no mention here

[@johnusmc6]

Jimmie Rogers???

[@maxwellfan55]

Erm...the Jimmie Rogers (pictured) was born in friggin 1897!!! Died in 1933.

[@ediblehorse]

Jimmie Rodgers? He was still alive???

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

Apparently the picture is a different Jimmie Rodgers.

[@victorhawkins3461]

@@TheGuitarHistorian The picture is of Jimmie Rodgers, "The Singing Brakeman" not the "Honeycomb" singer...turns out the younger was born the year the elder died, but they were of no direct relation. You did a fine, fine job -- as usual -- BUT (don't you hate that there's always a damn "but" attached?!)... Nah, that was all. If you haven't yet (I'm just too lazy to check right this minute...) you should really do a bit on Pat Martino. Damn fine guitarist...TWICE!

[@peteroselli3309]

Bad couple yrs UFO LOST 3 in past 2 yrs. All sad to see. Graham Edge, Charlie Watts??? Damn

[@myqleonard6544]

Uh, Jimmy Rodgers died almost 100 years ago.
