rmontro March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 This isn't about a current death or anything, but: I was watching a PBS show about the Mamas and the Papas (a vocal group in the '60s), and I was rather stunned to learn that three of the four members are dead, Michelle Phillips being the only survivor. Now I'm not a huge fan of the Mamas and the Papas, but I do think they made some lovely music, and there was a statement on the show that I found interesting, and can't disagree with. They said that Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys) and John Phillips were probably the best vocal arrangers of the last 50 years (you'd probably have to say 60 years now - this was an older documentary). Anyway, I am such a sentimental sap when it comes to music, especially music that was around when I was growing up. Like I said, I don't consider myself a huge fan of the Mamas and Papas, but here I was crying like a little girl over the death of Mama Cass in 1974 due to a heart attack (no drugs in her system either).

As for the Beach Boys, it's always stood out for me that The Beatles had two acknowledged geniuses in Lennon and McCartney (that's the biggest secret of their appeal IMO). But Brian Wilson had to accomplish what he did basically on his own. Not that the other Beach Boys weren't talented, but Brian didn't have the strong counterpart like there was in the Beatles. Then between Brian's breakdown and their image not fitting well with the counterculture, the Beach Boys lost popularity in the US (although they remained very popular in the UK). Which was a shame, IMO. As much credit as Brian gets among educated musicians, I think he and the Beach Boys are very underrated. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26529-in-memoriam-those-we-have-lost-from-the-music-industry/page/9/#findComment-4443489

27bored August 18, 2018 Share August 18, 2018 Rest in Peace to the Queen. I've been thinking about that title, "the Queen of Soul". I feel like it fit Aretha in so many ways, both obvious and not. Aretha had a chip on her shoulder. She had a tough upbringing, she was a teen mother, she lost her mother at a very young age, she married young and was in a physically abusive relationship for awhile, and she's lost a lot of her family. Plus, in many ways Aretha was unappreciated in her heyday for her virtuosity. People knew she could sing, but a lot of people didn't respect her skills as a musician in terms of playing the piano (she learned by ear) and being able to arrange and interpret songs. In fact, much of her legacy at Columbia is unknown because those recordings weren't what we knew her for (Respect, Think, Natural Woman, Blues Bros, etc). There's always been a slight sadness to her, not as palpable as say Billie Holliday, but not entirely unlike her, either. That inaccessibility made her Queen-like. I hope I hear Fantasia doing a tribute to Aretha at some point in the next year... While we're talking about Aretha's legacy, my favorite songs are her interpretations of songs by other artists: Night Life, Night Time Is The Right Time, Drown in My Own Tears, among others. Also good, at least in mourning, Sit Down and Cry, and Going Down Slow. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26529-in-memoriam-those-we-have-lost-from-the-music-industry/page/9/#findComment-4598710
