Ricky Nelson grew up on radio, TV, and concert stages. His father was a big band leader and crooner and his mother was a vocalist too. He certainly had s singer’s DNA.

As a young man still doing his family’s show, THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARIET, and recording his hit songs, there was perhaps no male artist more handsome than he, not even Elvis.

Also: Jim Reeves and Keith Green.

[Dr. Sivana]

Jim Croce had a LOT more than “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”. He was just getting started and had a string of Top 10 hits. I remember in 1975 Casey Kasem’s Top Acts of the 70s countdown had him at #6, behind Paul McCartney & Wings, but ahead of Elton John. (Of the the top 4, one of them fell onto near total obscurity ... 3 Dog Night was #3).

Garden Party was like an early Hotel California. 😂

[FLNittany]

Good list and in good order.

Lynard Skynard lost 3 in a plane crash including Ronnie van Zant 1977

[dfwgator]

The most recent one that comes to mind is Jenni Rivera. She was huge in the Latin market.

[dainbramaged]

Not on the list, but country singer Jim Reeves died while flying his own small plane due to a thunderstorm and the bane of many pilots, Spatial Disorientation.
He was a fine singer, low and slow.

[PghBaldy]

Otis Redding a great singer died in a plane crash before his biggest hit came out (maybe his death helped it up the charts).

[Fiji Hill]

Glenn Miller, whose plane disappeared over the English Channel late in the year 1944 belongs on that list, as does Sakamoto Kyu, whose 1961 recording Ue O Muite Arukō (I look up as I walk) was a smash hit all around the globe and topped the charts in this country. He was one of 524 passengers and crew killed in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985.

November 3, 2020.

The day the Republic died.

I wonder who will write that Song?

[Geostorm]

Also Harry Chapin was killed in a plane crash. Also Classical Pianist William Kapell was killed in a commercial plane crash in 1953 at the age of 31.
