Every time one of the great ones dies I think of Don McClean’s THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED. It dies a little each time.
There’s an old cassette somewhere of my brother and be singing BYE BYE LOVE. It was taped back in the mid 70s. I sang Don’s part and my brother sang Phil’s. We would also sing their songs while we picked cotton. My brother is gone. Now we say goodbye to Phil.
I am sorry for your loss and that tape is a priceless memory I am sure.
They don’t make them like they used to. Not much talent in music anymore, IMO. I am a child of the 80’s (born in 72) but ‘oldies’ always held my love and interest. In Junior High and high school, my friends listened and had posters and tshirts of Prince, Duran Duran, and A-HA while I had posters and tshirts of Buddy Holly and Everly Brothers.
