People Who Died

Music deaths like this Original Commodore Milan B. Williams Dies, may not mean much to the average music fan. But for die-hards like me they mean that even the smallest of names are bound to pass. Among those that have passed in the last few months: Bonnie Owens, Grant McLennan, Desmond Dekker and Kooll & The Gang guitarist Claydes Smith. There are more that pop up in Mojo and Rolling Stone and Goldmine. Some names bigger than some, but all made a contribution to your record collection. And mine.
