As we near the end of another calendar year, we want to pay tribute to notable music artists who died in 2023.
Post favorite songs from those we lost this year. In addition to performers, you may include songwriters, producers, promoters and anyone who had impact in the music industry or whose work has special meaning for you.
Repeated references to an artist are allowed, but try not to duplicate a track somebody already has posted. Similarly, although no limit to # of songs a person may select from a given performer (try not to “hoard”) — post your top choice, then give others a chance.
You may use songs with the performer as member of a group, of course, but we prefer it was recorded/performed when the person was an active member. Exceptions may apply. Also counts: member of duets, soundtracks, et. al.
