Goodbye

A look back at those in the music world who passed away in 2008.

We also said goodbye to actors Heath Ledger, Brad Renfro, Roy Schneider, Sydney Pollack, Mel Ferrer and Bernie Mac. Actresses Cyd Charisse, Estelle Getty and Kathy Staff. Comedian George Carlin, film director Anthony Minghella, record producer Neil Aspinall, fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent, sex kitten Bettie Page and writer Harold Pinter.

See you all in 2009. Happy New Year..

Kind of depressing and uplifting at the same time, especially for those names I had not heard about in the obituaries previously.  Lovely to see Guns of Navarone followed by classic Floyd.  ¡Feliz año y hasta pronto, compadre!

Lovely tribute. Glad to see you mention Renfro, he's unfortunately been overlooked several times. Davy Graham also passed away this year, just a couple of weeks ago.

Always a sad one from you is this mix Sam. I never knew Davy Graham had plucked his last guitar string? The man was a genius if somewhat flawed to say the least. Never knew Jeff Healey died either, the first cd I ever owned was a freebie mini disc of his, can't recall what it was cos I didn't like it?

Here's hoping none of my fave artists are on next years said mix!

Nice tribute mix. I somehow missed the Levi Stubbs obit this year so I'm hurting a little bit today.

Gosh, what a bittersweet mix this is, Sam. A lovely tribute to those that have passed. Cheers!
