Hello, if anyone could care to lend a hand, I’m trying to compile a comprehensive list of fallen music legends whose songs and albums went on to inspire a generation. These can be from any time era and of any genre. What they achieved in their career, however short or long, will be told in the form of a playlist I am working on to capture as many names as possible, no limits to the numbers. If I am being strict though I guess you could say I’m only interested in names that have had an influence on the UK charts, be that singles or albums, and who most would identify them or a piece of music that they released in their lifetime. Posthumous hits are not really what I’m looking for at this stage. Also, they can be solo artists of part of a group.
So if anyone can help by nominating any name they feel deserves to be included in this project for their contributions to music that are no longer alive then please do post names in this thread for me, and hopefully in time I can present a playlist of their greatest hits. Thanks all. Edit: I’ll collate all the names suggested in this thread into an easy to find list here for future reference… 2Pac Aaliyah Acker Bilk Amy Winehouse Andy Williams Aretha Franklin Avicii Barry White Ben E. King Billie Holiday Bill Haley Bill Withers Bob Marley Brian Jones Buddy Holly Carl Wilson Charlie Watts Chester Bennington Chris Cornell Christine McVie Cilla Black Colin Vearncombe Coolio Darius Danesh David Bowie Dean Martin Dolores O'Riordan Donna Summer Dusty Springfield Eddie Van Halen Ella Fitzgerald Elliott Smith Elvis Presley Etta James Eva Cassidy Falco Frank Sinatra Frank Zappa Freddie Mercury Gary Haisman George Harrison George Michael Gerry Rafferty Guru Josh Harry Nilsson Ian Curtis James Brown Janis Joplin Jeff Buckley Jimi Hendrix Jim Morrison John Lennon John Wetton Johnny Cash JUICE WRLD Karen Carpenter Keith Emerson Keith Flint Kirsty McCall Kurt Cobain Leonard Cohen Lil Chris Lil Peep Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes London Boys Louis Armstrong Luciano Pavarotti Marc Bolan Marie Frederiksson Marvin Gaye Maxi Jazz Meat Loaf Mel Appleby Maurice Gibb Michael Hutchense Michael Jackson Minnie Riperton Nate Dogg Nat King Cole Nina Simone Olivia Newton-John Otis Reading Patsy Cline Percy Sledge Pop Smoke Prince Richey Edwards Robert Johnson Robert Miles Robin Gibb Ronnie James Dio Ronnie Van Zant Roy Orbison Sarah Harding Sinead O'Connor SOPHIE Stephen Gately Steve Strange Takeoff The Notorious B.I.G.

Leonard Cohen, he is the one that opened the door for singer-songwriters, without him people like Damien Rice, David Gray, or even my beloved Ed Sheeran wouldn't exist.
