Rest In Peace to all of these musicians.

How could you forget Benjamin Orr, the bass player and singer of the Cars?

Us boomers were lucky to have been teens/20s during the 70s. The pinnacle of pop culture. TV shows, music, movies, fashion etc

Thanks for featuring Brad Delp

I knew every one of these arists had passed but thank you for keeping their legacy out there. Particularly Rick Wright and Jon Lord.

It feels strange to like a video about the passing of so many greats, but it was well written and presented. Thank you.

It makes me so sad the Delps vocals on more than a feeling could always make me feel so good and yet he did not have that happiness and ended his own life …RIP

Rip to these musicians from the 70’s and 80’s

I haven't followed Pink Floyd in a long time and I didn't know that Richard Wright passed away. So sad. I started listening to Floyd during the Syd Barrett years. All the of the Roger Waters drama is what killed it for me. R.I.P. Richard Wright, You were one of the great ones. Also, I did not know that the first drummer for the Rolling Stones, Mick Avery, was the drummer for the Kinks. I'm still catching up on rock history. Back then there was no internet, only TV and magazines.

I knew most of these people had passed, just a couple because I didn't follow those groups. RIP to all of them.

Very nicely put together and edited thank you.

Chris Squire of Yes. Phenomenal bass player.

You forgot drummers. Ginger Baker, Dino Danelli, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ron Tutt, Mitch Mitchell, Frankie Banelli, Allen White Fantastic key board player. Keith Emerson, Beatles John Lennon, George Harrison, Brian Jones, Great guitarist Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Leslie West . Bassist Jack Bruce, Cris Squire, Greg Lake .Tim Bogert, Noel Redding, Phil Linnot

Both Graeme Edge and Ray Thomas from Moody Blues have passed away also. R.I.P

People can rip the 1970s for tacky clothes, disco music and Watergate, but the decade produced the greatest, most iconic music in history- an endless variety of musical genres that will never be repeated. Not to mention groundbreaking movies by the greatest directors...

Shame mick tucker (from the sweet ) wasn't mentioned as he was a great drummer like Neil was 😯

Thanks, I didn't know about John Lord. I met him with Deep Purple and he was the one who stood out to me. Thanks for a great video!

The interesting thing is both Rush and Z Z Top had been performing with its trio of original members for at least 40 years. Only the deaths of Neil Peart and Dusty Hill respectively derailed all continuously of both bands in moving even further. Besides, how many bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s are still performing with all of its original members? I can name one. The Rascals.

What about Robbie Steinhardt the original violinist and vocalist of the great band Kansas?

Neal Peart.. "Fun and laughter" 🤣🤣 Not 2 words I would usually associate with Neal. I'm sure he was an amazing man to be associated with, warm and generous, but his public persona has an overly feeling of privacy while being "Focused and driven". Awesome drummer.. cosmic band. Saw the "Farewell To Kings" tour in a small Canadian east coast hockey arena. A hi-light in my concert going history. RIP Neal.

How could we not know? 😢

It’s amazing how many inaccuracies are in this video.

all wonderful artists but you forgot benjamin orr of cars, he should have been here much longer than he was. rip

RIP- Keith Emerson & Greg Lake

The age all these guys were at, us from that Era are old age now. They can't list every single musician that died since then. There are so many. Just be glad they mentioned some of them here.

Thank's for the altuism about the suiside line, nice vid.

Smoking, junk food, drugs and drinking may seem like fun, but they will cut your life short, however old you are....total bummer, thankfully my vices are chocolate and impulse and bargain shopping. 😁 But I do love good rock music whoever is playing it. RIP to all these musicians. 💔😎🧣🎸🎶❤️

Since the Cars were mentioned, a word about Ben Orr's untimely death would have been very welcome indeed.

I had the opportunity to meet BOC; nearly all of them. But in a small club in Arnold, MD; I met and interacted with Allen Lanier. I was close to the stage but couldn't get to him, because all these guys with posters, LP's, etc were taller than me and kept handing them over my head. Finally, Allen stopped them and said 'guys, let the girl have a chance." GIRL? oh, well. he took the only thing I had - their playlist and signed it and spoke with me for several minutes. He made me feel important. RIP to all of these folks.

Benjamin Orr

You should have included Gary Richrath of R.E.O. Speedwagon.

Most of these great musicians were gone way too soon. At least Ric Ocasek made it to 75. The only one whose passing I was unaware of was Alan Lanier...

Of course Jon Lord 😢

I don't think Delp sang in falsetto. He just had an incredible range.

Don't forget Harry Chapin

How could you leave out Benjamin Orr, bassist and vocalist with The Cars?

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!🔥🔥🔥🤬🤬🤬 I am STEAMED over the omissions of not ONE...but TWO members of the same group who were not only popular in the '70's but STILL bringing out good content in the '80's!!! Kieth Emerson AND Greg Lake BOTH passed away in 2016!!! Does NOBODY remember ELP?????!!!!!!!

How can Ric Ocasek be mentioned and not Benjamin Orr?

If there's a part 2 here are some more musicians J.Geils (The J.Geils Band),Joe Strummer (The Clash),Ian Mcdonald (King Crimson/Foriegner),Chris Squier (Yes),Pete Shelly (Buzzcocks), Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy),Brian Conolly (Sweet),David Byron (Uriah Heep),And Marc Bolan (T.rex)

RIP ❤great musical 🎶 artists .

Dark Side of the Moon is much superior to the Wall.

Mick Avory was not a member of the Rolling Stones. They all played together as backups for Alexis Korner, but when they branched off as the Stones, they used a few different people before convincing Charlie Watts to join, but no one can remember who was the first. Mick Avory has stated that it wasn't him.

Rushton Morieve and Goldy McJohn from Steppenwolf.

really? Keith Emerson? Greg lake?

Boston's Amazing, Vocal Virtuoso Lead Singer, And Guitarist Brad Delp, Was Engaged To Be Married Back In 2007, So Why Would He Have Supposedly Committed Suicide ?

To be honest, none of these musicians' deaths would have escaped the attention of the general public. They were members of superstar bands and most of their names were easily recognizable in mainstream entertainment, the exceptions being Richard Wright, Allan Lanier, Brad Delp and possibly Jon Lord.

Its sad, that all these persons died, men and women, but its realy normal that live ends. It can`t be stopped while sombody of them is an actor or an musican. I am 70 years old and i think that my live will end sonn. I have to live with it...and you should remeber the words of Freddy Mercury.who sang: "Who wants to live forever?" RIP all Musicans , Actors, Painters, Writers, and all Kids, Grandpa`s, Grandma`s, Mothers and Fathers, Friends and Girlfriends.

Ronnie James Dio 😢

you left out Sonny Bono, who recorded with Frank Sinatra.

For example, you forgot Gary Thain (bassist for Keef Hartley Band and Uriah Heep!)

Also curt kobain and mickeal Jackson are gone too soon. 😮😢

Rock peeked in the 70's.

Dude, Benjamin Orr from the Cars

素晴らしい

Current odds have been showing : Those that happened to cruise on beyond '27' are being hit with an abrupt stop sign at '67'

Rip to everyone❤

You forget the drummer of Bachman, Turner & Overdrive, who die a few months ago

So many died at age 67,must be the new 27.

2 songs guaranteed to get you kicked out of a music store is Stairway and Smoke on the water..lol I am confused that they not not also include Benjamin Orr from the Cars? he was just as important in lead vocals.

R.I.P ❤

Once again David Byron the iconic lead singer of Uriah Heep gets no respect.

I think Maurice Chevalier has died.

The lessons are Don't Do Drugs and Don't Smoke and Get Your Depression Treated

Richard Wright wasn't on the lp the wall

I knew all these had died. It sad, entwistle died alone

Keith moon ❤😢 rest in peace

G, As A Boomer Myself I would Say Our Age Bracket Has Seen The Best and Worst Of Times In Rapid Succession. To me it was and is A Haphazard, Creative, Mixed & Messed - Up In and Over Indulged Flawed and Flawless Bunch of People. RCJLEO 🦁♌ is

rick wright should have been happy he wasn't on the final cut, that album sucked it was worse than atom heart mother

Ocasek did not include his wife in his will.

Hi

what about love led zeppelin and lynyrd skynyrd

Malcolm Young?

😥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is riddled with embarrassing errors from someone who obviously wasn’t alive then. For example, the Allman Bros briefly disbanded in the late 70s but then continued on with and without Dickie Betts until Gregg’s death. Donald Fagan released more successful solo album than Walter Becker. The Who’s Tommy was way more successful than Quadraphenia.

There are a lot that you don't know yourselves.

Cancer is coming for us all

I recently looked up concerts near me & saw Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but remembered Carl Palmer had died. Looking into it, found none of them are still alive. Buyer beware

Ffs is ALLman as its spelt not pronounced AL man

So factually incorrect in so many ways.

11:03 OK, who the hell wrote that? They must’ve been smoking crack for years! Definitely on something serious. Brad from Boston did not have a falsetto voice. That is absolutely NOT a falsetto voice he had. He just had a high tenor. Next, they’ll be saying John Anderson from Yes, Tony Luis of the Outfield or Richard Marx sings falsetto. Their Range is exactly the same as brads all of them were known for having a high, sweet tenor voice which was very popular during that time period. For comparison, listen to the Bee Gees. They extensively made use of falsetto. Then, come back and listen to Boston again. use hooked on a feeling which is one of the greatest songs ever and you will be able to tell that Brad does not use falsetto unless you are smoking crack or completely deaf.

J. Geils.

Watts couldn't play his way through a wet paper bag! I've been playing drums since I was in the womb and if someone asked me to list the best drummers, Watts wouldn't even be on the list!! I've heard all of The Allman Brothers' early albums and there not a single track that has ANY psych on it! But, from what I've seen of American psych, it just means you have a wah-wah pedal! When did Gregg have TIME to collaborate with his wife?? They were only married for a week!! Her biggest ambition in life was to have a bigger wedding ring collection than Zsa Zsa Gabor!! 2017?? I thought Gregg died in the `80's!! I didn't know Lord and Eagan died. I doubt anyone would even miss Walter. They only had about 5 good songs. Didn't know Lanier was dead, either. He no longer fears the reaper! I didn't know Ric Okasek was dead! But, at that point in my life, I was going through hell courtesy of my ex-sisters and I had no t.v. or newspapers at the time or since. Didn't know Dio was dead, either but, I'm not interested in metal. Never heard of Delp. I wasn't a Boston fan, either. Wow! Nearly all of these guys died at 67!! So, if the 27 club doesn't get you, the 67 club will!! Too bad none of the cancer victims knew anything about any of the cures!

Lead singer of Uriah Heep David Byron Alcohol caught up with the ladd 1985...R.I.P.
