Reminded me to look into the 27 Club. I never realised Robert Johnson was a "member"

Robert Johnson could be considered the founding member of the 27 club! He is an immensely important figure in the history of blues and rock and roll.

So I figured. :) But not everyone may be as aware of how important he was.

Nice Cave performs "A Rainy Night in Soho"


Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill performs "Fairytale of New York" while members of friends and family dance. I think Shane would have been proud.

I believe I was introduced to The Pogues music in the film, P.S. I Love You (along with millions of others). Loved it. RIP Shane.

Another one of the greats, joining some of his friends and brothers.

Very sad to hear of the passing of the great master of the kora, Toumani Diabaté.

Eric Clapton speaking about the passing of John Mayall and the impact that Mayall had on Clapton's career is very worth listening to.

We don't have a separate thread for non-musicians, but RIP Alain Delon, an icon of French cinema, and one of the most handsome men who ever lived.
