Gogi Grant was NOT R & R. She died last week at 90. What WAS significant about her biggest hit, "The Wayward Wind," is that, in 1956, it pushed Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock" out of Billboard's top spot. That makes her an indelible part of R & R history.

Merle Haggard doesn't count here. However, Gregg Allman was in a bad bus cash, but will be OK. Damn! He's been on my list for 40 years. Then again, so was everyone in that band. For a time there, it looked like they were trying to outdo Badfinger.

I've been really enjoying the Merle songs I've been listening to in the last 48 hours. Like you said, it doesn't count.

Indonesian pop singer, Irma Bule, who uses snakes in her performances, died shortly after being bitten by a King Cobra she accidentally stepped on while dancing.
She refused all treatment, even an on-the-spot antidote, because she wanted the show to go on. She tried, but collapsed and died in the hospital less than an hour later. She was 29.
Alice Cooper, bite me! Now THAT chick knows rock and roll. OK, knew.

Either that plane ride was really, really bad, or it's karma for his last two albums.
