Question of the Day - Tuesday, April 20

[Norachan]

I was going to say Jimi Hendrix but I see a few others have got that covered so I'll bring back Nick Drake.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I heard Taxi on the car radio today and it brought back memories. I actually saw him at a fundraiser in a small church in Eugene, OR when I was visiting my sister.

I remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard Taxi. It was like the world stopped for a few minutes. I never got to see him in person, but his music touched my heart.

Bing Crosby. My grandfather's voice is very similar and it makes me just feel good.

Jim Croce - I loved his music and he was as much a poet as a singer. Starry starry nights and Time in a Bottle are a couple of his hit songs but he had many other beautiful songs as well.

So many but a personal favorite, Dan Fogelberg. Died way way too soon.

I remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard Taxi. It was like the world stopped for a few minutes. I never got to see him in person, but his music touched my heart.

And I remember where I was when I heard when he died. It was on state route 104, a few miles east of Williamson, NY. Michele and I were bringing our uncle back from his cabin in the Adirondacks when the news came over the radio.

Don McLean sang Starry Starry Night.

I love Operator. I have Jim Croce's greatest hits album.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Freddie Mercury, Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke.

 

[Tobermory]

Bill Withers, who passed away just last year. “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean on Me” are wonderful songs. There was something special about his voice.

I wasn't a big Beatles fan, but I'd bring back John Lennon, as it was just so tragic the way he died.

I became a fan of John Lennen ever sense I saw him on Ed Sullivan in 1964. When I heard he was killed on 2/9/80 I was crushed.

Billie Holiday. I'd be fascinated to meet her and listen to stories about her life.
