Favorite Songs From Artists No Longer Alive

Got a couple where the lead singer is still alive, but a band member died and the group ceased to exist as a result. Guitarist David Roback passed.

 
Singer Alejandra Deheza finished their final album after Benjamin Curtis died, but School of Seven Bells went with him. I think the album was her love letter and goodbye to him.

 
Michael Jackson Billie Jean

Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You


IZ Somewhere Over THe Rainbow
OFFICIAL Somewhere over the Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

Prince When Doves Cry

Janis Joplin Me and Bobby McGee
 
The late, great Johnny Ace, immortalized in song by Paul Simon. Johnny's career was tragically cut short when he accidentally shot himself backstage during a concert on Christmas Day 1954 in Houston, Texas. His untimely death at age 25 cemented his legacy, and he remains a significant figure in early R&B history.

 
Personally, I think this thread should be limited to those who died before their time. I mean, do we really want to include Tony Bennett, or any of the Rat Pack?
